Young Lawyers and Solo & Small Firm Practice Committees Host Mini-Golf Social at Puttery

The Asian American Bar Association of New York (AABANY) brought together attorneys for a night of fun and networking on October 3, 2025, as the Young Lawyers Committee teamed up with the Solo & Small Firm Practice Committee to host a lively social at Puttery. Guests enjoyed imaginative mini-golf courses while connecting with colleagues in a relaxed, playful setting.

The event offered young practitioners and solo attorneys alike a chance to build meaningful relationships outside the courtroom, blending professional networking with a creative twist. It was a perfect way to kick off the fall season with camaraderie and community.

For more information about the Young Lawyers Committee and the Solo & Small Firm Practice Committee, visit the Committee pages on AABANY’s website. To find upcoming events, check out AABANY’s Calendar.
