Thriving As In-House Counsel: How to Use Well-Being as a Superpower - New York

Event | 09.18.25, 5:30 PM EDT - 7:30 PM EDT

Address

Crowell & Moring 

Two Manhattan West
375 Ninth Avenue
New York, NY

Calling all dog lovers! Join us for a collaborative discussion on three dimensions of well-being and the superpowers they can provide, while engaging with therapy dogs from The Good Dog Foundation!

Enjoy an evening of networking and thoughtful conversation around three dimensions of well-being and their corresponding superpowers: (1) individual well-being (superpower: sharper, more efficient, happier), (2) team-focused well-being (superpower: better retention, recruitment, and team work-product), and (3) external-focused well-being (superpower: stronger relationships with outside counsel for enhanced synergies and partnerships).

We will serve mocktails, cocktails, and appetizers at our pre- and post-event reception, and will have therapy dogs on-site from The Good Dog Foundation. Attendees can interact with the therapy dogs as much or as little as they like.

We look forward to welcoming you to Crowell’s NYC office for this engaging event!
