The St. Lawrence University/Flink Maswick Law Connection
When one of our newest employees, Alison Haas, St. Lawrence University graduate ‘00, considered applying to work at Flink Maswick Law PLLC, she reached out to Attorney Molly Shubert Hann, class of ‘03.
Molly and Alison both graduated from St. Lawrence University. However, they did not know one another on campus. The two met years later as expectant mothers and realized they had both gone to St. Lawrence and shared several acquaintances. They maintained a friendship while their children grew and bonded over balancing family life and careers. When Alison was ready for a change in careers and Flink Maswick Law called to interview her, she discovered there were more St. Lawrence connections.
Molly was a teenager when she first met Attorney Ed Flink, ’73, while waiting tables in Lake Placid where Ed and his wife Ellen were second homeowners and now live full time. Molly met Attorney Jamey Maswick, ’06, while she was interning with the Essex County Public Defender’s Office. Jamey and Ed started working together shortly after the two met at a St. Lawrence University networking function at the Fort Orange Club in Albany while Jamey was a first-year law student at Albany Law School in the 2006-07 school year. At that time, Ed was looking to find a young attorney to work with him in the Lake Placid law office that Ed’s Capital District-based firm had recently opened. Maswick joined what was then Flink Smith Law and later partnered with Ed to begin Flink Maswick Law PLLC. It did not take too long until they asked Molly to join them.
At Alison’s interview, even more connections surfaced. Haas and Maswick both ran on the Track & Field team at SLU and discovered they know many of the same alumni. The St. Lawrence University alumni ties run deep and when the attorneys find themselves in St. Lawrence County to meet with clients or at the courthouse steps away from their alma mater, they joke about bringing back Sergi’s (if you know, you know) and always try to visit Brewer Bookstore.
