Thanks to my fellow team members! Proud that Team Rao Legal, LLC had a top ten finish in our very first Next Generation Initiative (NGI) Trivia Night but prouder still that we played in support of the winning team's DuPage County charity (the Glenbard Early Childhood Collaborative). As a new NGI Steering Committee Member, I hope you'll consider joining this fantastic community for future events: https://dupagefoundation.org/initiatives/next-generation-initiative.html. I'm happy to chat about membership, donation or sponsorship opportunities.

Congratulations to team Head CASES, the staff trivia team from Cooperative Association for Special Education and winners of NGI's 5th annual Charity Trivia Night. In honor of their victory, the Next Generation Initiative Fund will award a $2,000 grant to the team's favorite charity: the Glenbard Early Childhood Collaborative.

Thank you for this honor! I'm grateful and humbled.

I started my firm through the Justice Entrepreneurs Project (JEP). The JEP is a small business incubator that helps attorneys build socially conscious firms that strive to provide accessible and affordable representation. Through it, I have found an inspiring and talented community of attorneys, mentors and friends. I could not have done this without them. Thank you for your support.

Congratulations again to our 5th Annual JEPY Award Nominees and Winners (see below) and thank you to everyone who attended! It was really great to see all of you via zoom and we look forward to the day when we can celebrate all of you in person.
