AFSVets
Advocacy. Mentoring. Recruiting. Community Outreach.

As a group of active, reserve, former, and retired military and uniformed service employees, AFSVets recognizes and appreciates the unique skills our members’ service adds to their perspective and welcomes that experience within the firm, in partnerships with our clients, and in our pro bono engagements. ArentFox Schiff is proud to have members of this community among its ranks and looks forward to the contributions that AFSVets will bring to the firm and our communities.
AFSVets is led by the Army-Navy team of CPT Mir Ali, USA and LCDR Tan Anderson, USN. Tan completed ten years of active and reserve service as a nuclear submarine officer. Mir served seven years active duty and completed two combat tours in Afghanistan as a Detachment Commander of a Special Forces A-Team. Out of respect and appreciation for the firm’s support of veterans and reservists, they co-founded AFSVets with other active, reserve, former, and retired military and uniformed service employees. Tan and Mir are honored to co-lead this group.
