Thank you for the nice shout out, Sacramento Business Journal. We are truly honored! As Scott Shapiro notes, "While the pandemic has changed the way the firm does business and engages its employees, the focus on people has never wavered." This remains at the top of what makes Downey Brand one of the #bestplacestowork2020.

This happened yesterday! We couldn't be more proud to be recognized as one of the Sacramento region's #bestplacestowork2020. Thank you, Sacramento Business Journal, for hosting the virtual event. And congratulations to all of the other honorees who together continue to shape and define our business community's dynamic culture. Downey Brand placed 1st in the "large" category, which represents companies with 150-499 employees. This is the Firm’s third year in a row being recognized as one of the region’s #bestplacestowork.

Our first virtual whiskey tasting was a big hit with our Zoom attendees. We all got to sample five different whiskeys from around the world, ask questions, and chat with one another. Thank you, Drew Garrison for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. Cheers!

In case you missed it, our Sacramento Zoo Zoom is now available on YouTube. We had a great time partnering with the Sacramento Zoo to host clients and friends (and their families) to a behind-the-scenes visit with several zoo keepers and their amazing animal friends including: Julio, the blue/gold macaw; Ronnie, the baby gator; Butternut, the prehensile tailed porcupine; Charley, the great horned owl; and Bradshaw, the Colombian boa! Liz Stallard, Downey Brand employment law partner and President of the Sacramento Zoo's Board of Trustees was a terrific host. It was a fun-filled morning and we learned a lot of interesting facts too. Do you know the color is an okapi's tongue?
