“This is a perfect fit for Quarles & Brady,” said Ave Bie, managing partner of the firm's Madison office. “We need to do a better job of nurturing the next generation and helping them grow into future leaders. That’s an exciting commitment to make.”
Quarles & Brady is honored to present the “Emerging Business Leader of the Year” award at the gala, and will join the Young Professionals leadership team in announcing another major initiative that will dramatically improve legal services for those in need.
Bie said she and other attorneys in the Madison firm have been meeting with Madison-area businesses to increase awareness and grow the young professionals’ initiatives with the Urban League.
“These are tomorrow’s innovators, and we need to do our best as a community to encourage their growth and development,” said Bie.
