We very pleased to announce that Hugh Baran (https://kakaleclaw.com/hugh-baran/) has joined the Kakalec Law team today as an attorney. Hugh was most recently a Skadden fellow at the National Employment Law Project, where his work particularly focused on combating forced arbitration. Before joining NELP, Hugh clerked for U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in the District of Connecticut and U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy in the Eastern District of New York. Hugh is a graduate of NYU Law School, where he was a Root-Tilden-Kern Public Interest Scholar and the Editor-in-Chief of the NYU Review of Law and Social Change, and Yale University. Before law school, Hugh was a community and political organizer with UNITE HERE.
After a first day that began with an early morning (in person) court conference, Hugh is off and running. His email is hugh @ kakaleclaw.com. Please join us in welcoming Hugh to the firm!
