BenSim Law Supports the Next Generation of Legal Professionals at BASF Barristers Speed Networking 2026

BenSim Law was proud to participate in the Bar Association of San Francisco’s (BASF) Barristers Speed Networking 2026 event, held at Crowell & Moring’s San Francisco office. The annual program brought together law students, newer attorneys, and experienced practitioners from across the Bay Area legal community for an evening of mentorship, professional development, and meaningful connections.

Founding Partners Jacqueline Simonovich (Barristers President) and Kevin Benedicto (Barristers President-Elect) helped organize the event and joined dozens of attorneys, judges, and legal professionals who volunteered their time to meet with aspiring lawyers and share insights about their careers and the practice of law. More than fifty attendees participated in the program, which provided a unique opportunity for law students and early-career attorneys to engage directly with practitioners from a wide range of legal disciplines.

The event was hosted by the BASF Barristers Club and made possible through the support of Crowell & Moring, Leader Bank, and Nationwide Legal LLC. Special recognition goes to Jacob Canter, who served as master of ceremonies, and to Carmen Merlino and the BASF team for their work in coordinating another successful networking event.

At BenSim Law, we believe that a strong legal profession depends on mentorship, community engagement, and creating opportunities for the next generation of attorneys. We were honored to support this event and look forward to continuing our involvement in programs that foster professional growth and strengthen the legal community.
