Sherman Oaks & Encino Mixer
Moderator: Lisa Aminnia & Alexis James
Location: Pineapple Hill Saloon – 4454 Van Nuys Blvd N, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403
Get excited because TEN Sherman Oaks and Encino are joining forces this month for an IN-PERSON joint mixer on Tuesday, August 16, 2022 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at Pineapple Hill Saloon in Sherman Oaks! We will have our own dedicated space in their outdoor tent behind the restaurant, and there is plenty of free parking.
TEN is generously sponsoring some initial appetizers for the mixer. Happy hour food and beverage specials are available until 7 pm, plus their full menu is available for purchase all day as well. If you are interested in being an additional sponsor for this event, please let us know!
Please RVSP at the TEN website so that we can plan accordingly. This is also a great opportunity to invite friends and colleagues who would be a great addition to the TEN community to help us all build our network!
Speed Networking Mixer
Please join the Century City Bar Association (CCBA), the Muslim Bar Association of Southern California (MBASC), and TEN (The Esquire Network), for an hour of online speed networking. Just like speed dating – only less awkward. Instead of meeting your soulmate over cocktails, you will expand your professional network over an hour of lunch.
Open to members of CCBA, MBASC, and TEN only.
A Calendar invitation and an email with Zoom information will be sent to you about a week before the event. Please mark your calendar after registration.

Date: September 18, 2022
Time: 9:00 AM
Location: Griffith Park Old Zoo Loop
Meeting point/Parking: Park at the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round Lot One – meet us at the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round
Length: 2.5 miles
Route Type: loop
Difficulty: Easy
Description: The Griffith Park area is full of amazing spots to explore and one of my favorites is the Old LA Zoo. The Old LA Zoo is what remains of the original Los Angeles Zoo that was simply left in its place when the zoo changed locations. Also, picnic benches were added to some of the old animal areas, and it was adopted into Griffith Park, which welcomes tons of visitors each day. The zoo is a truly unique location in the urban jungle that is Los Angeles.

What Our Members Say
- Mauricio Leon de la Barra Mexico and California Attorney at Law
“TEN can be described in TEN words: An extraordinary source of referrals, resources and very good friends. I got my first referral a few days after my first meeting. Its members have always provided my clients with outstanding legal solutions in different areas of law. And I have the honor of considering each member a very good friend.”
Larry A. Rothstein, Esq. Trial Lawyer & Civil Litigator“Although I have been a member of other professional networking organizations, David’s idea of one limited to small and solo law firms is both unique and exciting. Many of us in small and solo practices have developed expertise in limited practice areas. This makes for a particular dynamic because we are able to refer clients with specific needs to those having the specialized skills to handle them.”
- Cynthia Elkins Employment Law
“Have been a member of TEN since its inception. It is a wonderful and very cost efficient resource for solos and attorneys from small firms as this is my primary referral source both for receiving referrals and giving out referrals and this wonderful group of members helps to expand my referral base.”
