Cades Schutte is proud to announce that Trever K. Asam has been selected as one of Hawaii Business Magazine’s 20 for the Next 20 for 2022. Each year, Hawaii Business Magazine honors 20 people who they believe will have a major positive impact on Hawai‘i over the next two decades.
Trever is a partner in the firm’s Tax Group and also serves as the firm’s pro bono coordinator. Hawaii Business Magazine recognized Trever for his achievements as an attorney at Cades Schutte representing nonprofit and for-profit clients navigating tax issues, as well as his work outside the office as president of Volunteer Legal Services Hawai‘i and on the boards of both Teach for America Hawai‘i and Hawai‘i Contemporary.
“Congratulations from all of us at Cades Schutte,” said Nathan T. Okubo, of the firm’s Management Committee. “I have always admired Trever for his ability to balance pro bono work and volunteer service with his client work. I cannot think of a colleague who is more suited for this award than Trever.”
Prior to becoming an attorney, Trever was a middle school teacher at Paul Public Charter School in Washington, D.C. with Teach for America. He clerked for Judge Susan Oki Mollway at the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawai‘i after law school before joining private practice in both D.C. and then Hawai‘i.
