Bob and Pat Gage
Pat Gage is deputy GC with Promontory Financial Group, and Bob heads the real estate practice at Covington. Bob tells us they met "many" years ago while both associates at Covington. Their teamwork produced two successful UNC graduates—Rachel Gage Olschofka and Charles Gage. While neither is a lawyer yet, Charles is considering law and business school after he makes his mark in the business consulting world. Bob's real estate prowess is visible here; this picture was taken at a lovely location at Deep Creek Lake.
Jessica Hepburn Sadler and John Sadler
Jessica Hepburn Sadler and John Sadler first met while working in offices directly beside each other as litigation associates. Shortly thereafter, they were going on their first date, and an over-the-top proposal followed less than a year later. Five years after tying the knot, the Sadlers still work together in the commercial litigation practice at Ballard Spahr's Bethesda office.
Jen and Peter Jackman
Jen and Peter Jackman met in law school in Baltimore in 1995. Between studying for exams, taking in O's games, and going to Bertha's in Fell's Point, they managed to graduate and pass the Maryland Bar together, then marry five years after they met. Both landed jobs in DC and are still with the same firms. Jen's a partner in Whiteford, Taylor & Preston, specializing in employment law and litigation. Peter's a director in the Biotech/Chemical and CleanTech practice at Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox. They snapped this pic in London last year, where Peter was speaking at a cleantech-focused conference.
