Fish & Richardson is pleased to announce that associate Veena Tripathi has joined the newly-formed Junior Committee of Next Generation Lawyers.
Next Generation Lawyers partners with ChIPs, the Federal Circuit Bar Association, the Federal Judicial Center, and the Judiciary to encourage opportunities for junior lawyers through the industry. The Junior Committee is dedicated to creating and advancing content, events, and other action items to empower junior attorneys seeking to obtain more substantive experiences inside and outside of the courtroom. The Junior Committee includes attorneys from law firms, in-house departments, and judicial clerkships across the country practicing across a range of areas. The diversity of perspectives positions the Junior Committee to further NextGen's mission of empowering the next generation of lawyers.
