The firm is pleased to announce that Braden Yowell is the winner of this year’s Paul B. Butler Service Award. Each year, the firm selects an employee from the prior year’s STEP award winners to recognize with this prestigious honor. Like the STEP award, the award is given to an employee who exemplifies service, teamwork, excellence, and adherence to Butler’s principles. It is named after our founding partner in recognition of his devotion to service to the firm, its clients, and the community.
Braden works in the firm’s I.T. department in the Tampa office. He is always available, always helpful, and always goes out of his way to make sure the needs of his fellow employees and attorneys are met. Recently, the firm hosted a complicated mediation involving parties in Miami, London, Toronto, and New York in its Miami office. The night before the mediation, Braden’s flight was canceled due to the weather, so he jumped in his car and drove to Miami, arriving late at night. The next morning, he was the first person in the office and had the complicated videoconferencing equipment working seamlessly. This is just one example of Braden’s dedication to the firm and his co-workers. Please join us in congratulating Braden Yowell on this outstanding accomplishment!
