ASM presents Pinnacle Award to attorney Olanoff

During ASM's Biennial Dinner Gala in November, ASM presented its first-ever Pinnacle Award to attorney Jerrold Olanoff of Corwin & Corwin LLP. The Pinnacle award was presented to Olanoff in recognition of over 45 years of exceptional dedication and service to the Associated Subcontractor of Massachusetts. Olanoff joined Joseph and Sally Corwin at their construction law firm in the 1960s after graduating from Columbia School of Law. Almost immediately, he became involved in the Association's legislative battles on Beacon Hill to preserve competitive bidding for subcontractors, and he has played a key role ever since the in the important legal and legislative issues facing the association. Over the decades, Olanoff has provided counsel to the association, prepared legal briefs on ASM's behalf, and reviewed and drafted numerous legislative proposals. He has also spoken at numerous ASM seminars on construction law, answered thousands of legal questions, and assisted the Association and its members in countless ways. In accepting the Pinnacle Award, Olanoff reflected on the early years of ASM, and noted how far the Association has come since he first became involved, decades ago, with Joe and Sally Corwin.
