One of the most rewarding aspects of practicing law is seeing the next generation of lawyers begin their journey.

This week, our partner Brian Belowich had the opportunity to try a case in the United States Bankruptcy Court alongside a very special colleague - his daughter, Talia Belowich, a rising 2L at The George Washington University Law School, who assisted him throughout the trial.

For Brian, it was a memorable milestone in an accomplished litigation career. For Talia, it was an extraordinary opportunity to experience trial advocacy firsthand from counsel table.

We are proud of both Brian and Talia and grateful to see the values of hard work, professionalism, and mentorship reflected across generations.
