Celebrating the 5th Annual Veterans’ Legal Career Fair

October.31.2019

On October 25, we celebrated the 5^th anniversary of our Veterans’ Legal Career Fair in Washington, D.C. We created this event in 2015 to give back to those who serve our country. Since then, more than 500 veterans, active duty service members and their spouses have interviewed at the fair. You can listen to some of their inspiring stories on The American Lawyer’s podcast “Boots to Suits: The Path From JAG Corps to Big Law and Beyond.” It features Orrick associates Anne Savin and Matt Reeder and Morgan Stanley VP of Legal & Compliance Jaime Turner talking about their experiences serving in the military justice system and how the Veterans’ Legal Career Fair helped them make the transition to private practice.

We are incredibly grateful to the 40 top legal employers who interviewed and supported this year’s fair, including 21 law firms and corporate legal departments such as Amazon, Bank of America, Facebook, Intel, Juniper Networks, Microsoft (which also hosted kick-off networking reception at its Innovation & Policy Center), Morgan Stanley, TCDI, USAA, VMWare and Walmart. And a special thanks to all of you who have already committed to returning to interview at the 2020 VLCF!

Anne Savin Senior Career Associate

Washington, D.C.

Anne brings her unique background to bear on federal appellate matters that cut across a range of substantive areas of the law. She has authored petitions for certiorari, briefs in opposition, and amicus briefs at the U.S. Supreme Court in cases involving civil rights, constitutional, veterans, and immigration law. She also advises clients on cutting-edge developments in the financial technology and artificial intelligence sectors, where disruptive technologies continue to raise fundamental legal questions.

For nearly a decade before joining Orrick, Anne served as an officer in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corp. Her military experiences include prosecuting dozens of criminal cases--including rape and murder--at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and Fort Benning, Georgia, advising the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General and other senior Army leaders at the Pentagon on military justice issues, and advising the commander of the Army's only active-duty information warfare brigade in intelligence and operational law in the information and cyberspace domains. Among other distinctions, Anne was awarded the Bronze Star for her service in Afghanistan with the 82d Airborne Division and is a graduate of the U.S. Army Airborne School.

Before joining the Army, Anne practiced in San Francisco, first with the litigation group at Pillsbury Winthrop and later with Jones Day's issues and appeals practice. Her representative cases include successfully defending an oil-and-gas company against claims brought under the Alien Tort Statute and customary international law, securing a complete defense verdict at trial on alter ego and agency liability allegations against an insurance company, and successfully defending on appeal summary judgments based on professional responsibility violations and statute of limitations grounds.
