Spring is always a good time for new beginnings.

Please extend an enthusiastic welcome back to Paula Boutis, returning from maternity leave with her trademark zest, skill, and broad experience.

Bon voyage and best wishes to Jennifer Kalnins Temple, who will be moving next month to Los Angeles to take on the position of Deputy Attorney General with the California Department of Justice in its Natural Resources Law Section, which represents California state agencies responsible for enforcing and administering laws and programs that protect California's environment and natural resources. Warmest congratulations, Jennifer!

And adios to Meredith James, who is building on the excellent training she received with us to continue her practice in a downtown firm.
