"I practice in a small law firm, in a very specialized field, in a state where few other practitioners focus on my area of practice. The PCL Section gives me a nationwide network of attorneys with whom I can discuss new, unfamiliar, or complicated issues to ensure thorough analysis for my clients. Through the network of attorneys, I can confidently refer my clients to trusted, knowledgeable colleagues and they can be confident in referring their clients to me.”

“Halfway into my legal career, I “retooled” myself from a general civil litigator to a public procurement attorney. I was encouraged to join the PCL Section and get involved with its Regulatory Coordinating Committee as one way to develop the necessary expertise while on the job. This involvement provided me with invaluable first-hand experience working with experts in and outside Government to learn the law as well as shaping the regulations that govern the industry. I not only learned the substance of public procurement law, I made important professional connections across all facets of the industry and lifelong friends along the way.”
