Bradley is pleased to announce that Tiffany M. Graves, Bradley’s pro bono counsel, has been named the 2019 Young, Gifted & Empowered Awards (YG&E) Leader of the Year.

“We are very proud that Tiffany has been named this year’s Young, Gifted & Empowered Awards Leader of the Year,” said Bradley Chairman of the Board and Managing Partner Jonathan M.
