Key Synergies Between Firms Identified Through CREWNY Networking

After spending quality time at CREWNY’s May Dine-around Event, Carol Messman , Partner, Crowe LLP, and Leslie Berkoff , Partner, Moritt Hock & Hamroff LLP, identified key synergies between their firms, an accounting firm and a law firm, respectively. They held a “meet and greet” among several of their respective colleagues to explore mutually beneficial business opportunities. By drilling down in a more personalized, intimate CREWNY setting, they took their CREWNY connections to another level, developing deeper contacts and enhancing relationships to build better business. 

Carol and Leslie are excited about the outcome. They encourage all CREWNY members to spend time networking beyond larger, organized events to leverage relationships you can make at smaller CREWNY Connection events and other opportunities.
