| A very happy birthday to our friends at Arent Fox, which is celebrating its 20th year in New York. (One more year and they can start repping liquor manufacturers.) We recently stopped by its anniversary party at Rock Center Café, where we snapped Morgan Keegan's Joseph Bollard, Casey Van De Walle, Vasanta Pundarika, and Michael Guernier with Arent Fox partner Richard Newman (center, who will be returning to Rockefeller Center for Morgan Keegan’s holiday party Nov. 30). The NY office was formed in1991 by a merger with boutique law firm McGarrahan & Heard, combining both firms’ strong litigation and real estate practices |
