(London) – Akin Gump financial regulatory associate Joe Hewton has been named by City Year UK as the winner of this year’s London Bridge Builder award at the City Year Graduation Ceremony.

The award recognizes those who have, in their spare time, offered to mentor City Year’s young volunteers, helping to prepare them for staying in school or finding a career. The support includes mock interviews, résumé workshops and assistance in deciding on one’s next steps.
