From St. John’s to Surrogate a Trusts & Estates Networking Reception
Join us for an engaging evening of mentorship and networking at the intersection of academia and legal practice. This reception is open to law students and young practitioners interested in Trusts and Estates (T&E) law.
Each law student or young practitioner will be paired with an experienced attorney who will help guide them through the networking reception. The evening will feature welcoming remarks from Tara Anne Pleat, Chairperson of the Trusts and Estates Law Section, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Sydney Spinner and featuring Surrogate Gingold, Acting Surrogate Kelly, and Surrogate Johnson.
Panelists and mentors will bring experience from across the T&E spectrum, including estate planning, administration, litigation, and tax controversies. Whether you are exploring career opportunities or looking to build meaningful professional relationships, this event is designed to inform, inspire, and connect the next generation of T&E lawyers.
