Overview
America’s legal system is strong, yet it benefits from more creative advocates who bring fresh approaches and technological innovation. Talkov Law established this contest to encourage and support a future attorney who has shown — and intends to continue showing — a dedication to advancing the profession through new ideas and practical improvements. As Partition Attorneys, Talkov Law represents parties in co-ownership disputes and seeks innovative solutions that shape the future of the law.
