For the last 18 years, East Rockaway, New York, resident and attorney Marc Rovner has served as general counsel and director of business development at BETA Abstract LLC. As part of his ongoing education and career development as an attorney, Marc Rovner belongs to several professional organizations, including the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA). The NYSBA recently announced a joint initiative with the Women's Bar Association of the State of New York (WBASNY) to help provide access to legal services for those who have experienced domestic violence. Many victims of domestic abuse have limited resources and access to adequate legal assistance, specifically in matters of protection orders and finding safe housing, as well as child custody, visitation and support. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 25 percent of women and 10 percent of men are victims, or have been victims in the past, of domestic violence carried out by a romantic partner. The NYSBA-WBASNY initiative is aimed at raising awareness and seeks to recruit more pro bono attorneys and develop more pro bono programs to serve victims of domestic violence.

A native of East Rockaway, New York, and a magna cum laude graduate of Boston University, attorney Marc Rovner serves as general counsel and director of business development for BETA Abstract LLC. Outside his work as an attorney, Marc Rovner is a fan of the New York Rangers. Brandon Pirri and the New York Rangers recently came to terms on a one-year deal worth a reported $1.1 million The 25-year-old Pirri played with the Florida Panthers and Anaheim Ducks last season, tallying 14 goals and 15 assists in his 61 games played. The 29 points he scored were a career high. Pirri was selected in the second round of the 2009 draft with the 59th overall pick. He has been twice traded and mostly regarded as a specialist in shootouts, scoring on 83.3 percent of his attempts (5 of 6 in total) last year. That was enough to net him first place among players with at least five shootout attempts. In his 166 games played with the Blackhawks, Ducks, and Panthers, Pirri has totaled 49 goals and 31 assists. As general counsel and director of business development at BETA Abstract, LLC, attorney Marc Rovner oversees and supervises company’s entire legal department. In his leisure time, attorney Marc Rovner enjoys traveling, with his favorite city being Barcelona, Spain. A city full of history and rich cultural heritage, Barcelona is also home to many famous buildings that are popular tourist spots year-round. That said, here are two of the most visited buildings in Barcelona. A marvel of Gothic architecture, La Seu is renowned as one of the most beautiful structures in all of Barcelona. The building is dedicated to Santa Eulàlia, a martyr and Barcelona’s patron saint, and her body still lies enshrined beneath the cathedral’s high altar. Smaller gardens and chapels can be found in the building’s cloister, as well as flocks of cackling geese. On hot summer days, the cloister is a welcome refuge from the heat. Casa Milà is a famous work of architect Atoni Gaudi, and it especially unique in that it has no right angles anywhere in its construction. Situated in the Eixample district, it still stands as one of the most impressive and popular structures in Barcelona. Its inner courtyards boast many natural colors and are girded with rounded shapes among the wall. Casa Milà got its “quarry” nickname because of its eccentric design. Shortly after the building was complete, the city of Barcelona declared it to be a work of art. |
