Attorneys in the Naples office of Quarles & Brady LLP, Tina M. Eckert and Alicia L. Taylor, have recently graduated from the Growing Associates in Naples (GAIN) Class of 2014.
T. Robert Bulloch, Managing Partner of Quarles & Brady’s Naples office said, “We are pleased to participate in this extremely valuable leadership program and are even more proud to have two of our attorneys in this year’s graduating class.”
