McCarter Atty, SEALs Brave NYC Waters for Vets’ Legal Aid

While other attorneys were sleeping on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 3, after a long workweek, Bill Brown was standing by the edge of New York Bay, getting ready to jump into the water and swim toward the Statue of Liberty.

Brown — an associate at McCarter & English LLP who specializes in bankruptcy and commercial litigation — didn’t stop once he got to Liberty Island’s edge, but rather kept swimming toward Ellis Island, and then Battery Park in lower Manhattan.
