In October, partners Susan Gutierrez, Shawn Ledingham, Jr., Jonathan Weiss and Bart Williams hosted a private dinner for Proskauer’s Los Angeles-based in-house litigation alumni at Espelette Beverly Hills.

During dinner, attendees shared personal and professional updates, discussed myriad legal and business topics and recounted stories from their years at Proskauer.
“It was a real pleasure to meet everyone around the table and to reconnect with former colleagues,” said , President and CEO at Federated Foods. “I truly appreciated the time and care put into making the evening so enjoyable. In addition, I appreciate the Firm’s ongoing commitment to keeping the Proskauer alumni community connected.”
“It was a pleasure meeting everyone on more intimate terms,” said , Vice President, Division Counsel at Ormco Corporation. “I spent the first 10 years (2001-2011) of my career at Proskauer, but it’s been a while since I’ve connected with the Firm. Attending a gathering like this dinner, where I had a nice opportunity to get to know current Proskauer lawyers, made for a memorable experience.”
The evening also provided an opportunity to share in the celebration of Proskauer’s 150th anniversary.
“It’s been a year filled with reflection,” said Bart Williams, a litigation partner and head of the Los Angeles office. “Many talented lawyers, like those who attended this dinner, have been instrumental in helping Proskauer not only grow our clients, but also shape the future in countless emergent fields of law.”
