  IADC Friendships - Oh the Places We Will Go

  Jun 29, 202642 minS1

  One of the greatest benefits of the IADC is the relationships we build, the friendships we foster, and the experiences we share along the way. In this episode of IADC Speaks , Host Marty Healy (Porzio, Bromberg & Newman, P.C.) sits down with Andrew Chamberlin (Ellis & Winters LLP), Tripp Haston (Bradley LLP), John T. Lay (Gallivan White & Boyd, P.A.), Spencer Silverglate (Clarke Silverglate, P.A.), and Mitch Smith (Germer PLLC) to discuss an annual hiking tradition that has taken them from the E5 trail and Peru to Yosemite, the Dolomites, and soon, Scotland. What began as one member's goal to climb a mountain has grown into a shared adventure that continues to strengthen their friendships year after year. Together, they reflect on the challenges, rewards, and memorable moments they've experienced. Along the way, they share stories that are equal parts inspiring and entertaining—from river crossings and unexpected latrine encounters to the quirks and habits you only discover after spending days on the trail together. Join us for a conversation about adventure, camaraderie, and how shared experiences can strengthen friendships and create memories that last a lifetime.

Shikha shares her personal journey to ILF and discusses its mission to bridge gaps in justice systems, and the critical role skilled legal representation plays in protecting individual rights and strengthening communities. Through compelling stories and real examples, she illustrates how access to defense counsel can transform lives and why support from organizations such as the IADC Foundation is essential to advancing the rule of law.
