Alumni discuss their current careers … and look back on where it all began. William “Mo” Cowan President, Global Government Affairs and Policy at GE I will recall with fondness the kindness, care, and attention I received during my first baker's-dozen years at Mintz. I grew up — professionally and personally — at Mintz. Mintz was there for me on one of the happiest days of my life (there were two tables full of Mintz colleagues at my wedding) and one of my darkest (Bob Popeo visiting with me to offer comfort and perspective after my uncle's suicide). I also fondly recall my many interactions with Richard Mintz, starting with my earliest: lunch my first week at the firm. We went for sushi, and Richard ordered sake with his meal. I knew then and there I was at the right firm.
