AABANY Committees Celebrate the End of FY26 at Inter-Committee Happy Hour

On March 30, 2026, AABANY’s Military & Veterans Affairs (MVA), Commercial Bankruptcy & Restructuring (CB&R), and Young Lawyers (YLC) Committees co-hosted a lively happy hour at Sling Bar in Urban Hawker Midtown, celebrating the end of fiscal year ’26.

The event brought together AABANY members and non-members for an evening of networking and camaraderie over margaritas, beers, gyozas, and sushi rolls. Attendees included both long-time members and first-time participants, creating a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere.

Throughout the evening, colleagues reconnected and new relationships were formed, with conversations spanning diverse practice areas, career paths, and shared professional experiences. Many attendees also took the opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives on programming and initiatives for the upcoming fiscal year.

The Committees look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to foster meaningful connections within the AABANY community in FY27.

AABANY’s Commercial Bankruptcy and Restructuring Committee and Young Lawyers Committee Host Ice-Skating Social at Bryant Park

On January 16, 2025, AABANY’s Commercial Bankruptcy and Restructuring Committee (CBRC) and Young Lawyers Committee (YLC) hosted an ice-skating social at Bryant Park to start off the New Year.  The Committees welcomed members of all skating abilities, from first timers to experienced skaters who helped the first timers hone their skating skills as they circled the ice.  The event featured some light snow, which enhanced the experience for our attendees.

After skating, attendees networked over après-skating drinks and food at the Vanderbilt Bar & Grill and discussed different areas of law, including bankruptcy and restructuring, intellectual property, commercial real estate and the judiciary.

A big thank you to everyone who attended! The Commercial Bankruptcy and Restructuring Committee as well as the Young Lawyers Committee always welcome new members to join our growing and dynamic community.
