Military

Client and Industry Challenges

Involved and Invested: Our military attorneys are committed to staying up-to-date on, and invested in, the issues that affect military personnel, veterans and the companies that employ them; for example, we recently issued a bulletin to our financial services clients on critical military rights under the SCRA. Members of our team are involved in a variety of military service-focused organizations, including the Reserve Officers Association, the United States Selective Service System and the American Legion.

Committed to Military Personnel and Veterans: Several of our attorneys have also coordinated on pro bono legal services for combat veterans and participate in community involvement initiatives dedicated to military members and families, including serving on committees to establish new county veterans’ courts.
