American Jewish Congress New Jersey Honors Hammer
The New Jersey Region of the American Jewish Congress honored Alan R. Hammer, a member of Brach Eichler in Roseland, and a Livingston, New Jersey, resident, with its National Judge Learned Hand Award on Dec. 10 at the Hilton Short Hills. The award was established in 1964 to honor Judge Learned Hand's decisions in more than 2,000 cases, particularly on constitutional rights and antitrust legislation. Hammer said in a statement that it's an ”honor to be considered amongst a group of individuals whom I recognize as true leaders in our profession.” Hammer joined Brach Eichler as a law clerk in 1970 and as a full-time attorney after graduating from Rutgers University School of Law in 1971. He concentrates on investment real estate transactions and tax appeals. He is a former managing partner of Brach Eichler and has served on the firm's executive committee since its inception. Hammer also contributes to organizations supporting the Jewish community, including the Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowest NJ. He is currently serving as major gifts co-chair in support of the 2019 United Jewish Appeal Annual Campaign.
|Greenberg Traurig Honors Family Promise of Morris County
Family Promise of Morris County, supported by Greenberg Traurig in Florham Park, celebrated its 30th anniversary at its annual dinner, “An Evening of Promise: Honoring Volunteers and Community Service,” on Nov. 8 at The Meadow Wood Manor in Randolph. FPMC seeks to eliminate homelessness in the community. Michele Caruso, a volunteer with FPMC, received the 2018 “Community Impact Award.” She started the “Making Moves Matter” program, which transforms apartments and other homes for Family Promise clients. This was the 13th consecutive year that the annual event was supported by Greenberg Traurig, which has donated more than $275,000 to FPMC over that time, according to a release. In addition to the annual dinner, the firm also has sponsored the Community Impact Award for the past seven years. “We are proud to continue our support of FPMC. It has been amazing to watch the organization expand their services and the number of people they assist each year,” said Greenberg partner Barry J. Schindler, chair of Greenberg Traurig's global patent prosecution group and chairperson of FPMC's corporate leadership council, in a statement. Joann Bjornson, LSW, executive director of FPMC, said in a statement: “Dinner sponsorships, pro bono legal representation in over 10 areas, business development support, financial support for our holiday party for over 200 people, and corporate volunteerism events makes Greenberg Traurig our longest and most dedicated partner.”
