VLA’s 50th Anniversary Gala was a huge success, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

This year, we were honored to award Proskauer Rose LLP with the inaugural Founders Award. We also honored Seth Krauss, Esq. and David B. Pitofsky, Esq. with the Legal Champion of the Arts awards.

We had a fantastic performance by  Dancer, Choreographer, Author and Former VLA Client Twyla Tharp. This special performance called “The One Hundreds” brought audience members to the stage to learn the dance!
