Over the years, Vincent Kiernan has donated hundreds and hundreds of hours in pro-bono legal services writing contracts, providing employment counsel, advising on business decisions. This year, Kiernan decided there was even more he and his family could do. And that’s how he found himself in a village in Malawi, Africa, lugging bricks.
Kiernan has worked with buildOn a Stamford-based school-building and community development charity for more than a decade and now serves as the organization’s general counsel. BuildOn has built more than 500 schools in some of the poorest parts of the world. This year, Kiernan personally financed the construction of a school in sub-Saharan Africa. Then he took time from his practice as a corporate and transactional partner in the Stamford office of Edwards Wildman Palmer to travel with his family to a remote village and help build it.
