“At ArentFox Schiff, we are committed to empowering our next generation of lawyers and are proud to welcome our new group of Diversity Scholars. On behalf of the firm, I would like to congratulate Nardeen, Denny, Jared, Paola, and Phillip. These students have demonstrated excellence in and out of the classroom, as well as dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we are thrilled to have them join the firm.”
