Liskow is proud to announce that Bill Schwartz has been recognized as a “highly recommended” Male Ally of the Year by Meritas, a global network of law firms. This award was created to recognize lawyers who are actively committed to encouraging, advancing, sponsoring, or championing the progress of women in law firms.
This recognition underscores Bill’s dedication to advancing gender equality in the legal profession. From mentoring and providing guidance to supporting career advancement opportunities, Bill continuously empowers colleagues to reach their full potential. As his colleague Jill Willhoft notes, “He trains, mentors, and encourages the future women trial attorneys to leave us with the skills, strength, and courage to take on tomorrow.”
The Meritas Women’s Leadership Awards program was created by the Meritas Women’s Leadership Congress. The awards support the group’s mission to create visibility, knowledge sharing, mentorship, and skills-building opportunities to support women’s professional legal careers, as well as its goal of fostering conversations to help promote diversity and inclusion in firm recruiting, retention, and business development.
