DIVERSITYat Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

Reach. Advance. Succeed.

When John Randall (Randy) Lewis is on campuses talking to law students about a possible career at

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, he says that his pitch is simple. “I believe that I have a compelling story to tell and an easy sell,” explains the San Francisco-based corporate partner. “Join the firm and you’ll get to work in the most sophisticated practice you can imagine, trained by some of the best legal practitioners out there and serving some of the world’s most fascinating clients—companies that are changing people’s lives in both simple and profound ways. On top of all that, you’ll be given client responsibility early

in your career, which is exciting and makes you grow up fast as a lawyer.” He adds with a grin, “Frankly, I just start talking and let my enthusiasm spill out.”

That enthusiasm, along with a thirst for challenge and a disdain for complacency, has been a hallmark of Randy’s academic and professional careers. When it came time to choose a college, he was debating between majoring in finance or mechanical engineering so he gravitated to Boston University, which had strong programs in both fields. Randy ultimately settled on the former and went to work at GE Capital and Wells Fargo for two years immediately upon graduating from college. But when he decided to pursue a graduate degree, he opted for law school rather than going for an MBA. “I wanted to be around the business transactions I was familiar with and enjoyed, but I wanted to experience them from a different angle to keep things fresh,” he explains.

Randy enrolled at the University of Chicago Law School, attracted by its academic rigor. The school employs the Socratic Method, in which professors abstain from traditional lectures and instead engage their students in thoughtful, thorough, and often spirited discussions. “I also liked the way the school married the study of law with economics, using it as a tool for understanding the intricacies and consequences of legal decisions in a business context,” Randy says.

He joined WSGR’s Palo Alto office in 1995, persuaded by his experience as a summer associate. “It wasn’t what I pictured as a typical law firm,” he says. “When you’re young, you envision law firms as very formal places with old and established clients, and you’re there largely to protect their assets. At WSGR, I was surprised to discover that the atmosphere was much more vibrant and that while you’re certainly trying to protect your clients’ assets, you’re also trying to help them formalize their ideas and grow their businesses. That translates into a unique environment for corporate attorneys.”

Randy’s initial impression of the firm was confirmed after he started as an associate. “I always knew that I was doing my job correctly when I was getting calls from clients about things that involved law and things that didn’t directly involve law,” he says. “They knew that I had taken the time to understand their business and they wanted to speak to me because I was another good resource for them to vet their ideas. And that’s still true: If a

client is just asking me to turn out documents, I’m not penetrating the day-to-day life of their strategic decision-making, and that’s where I like to be.”

But even with this favorable view of the firm, Randy grew restless for a new type of challenge. In 1999, he left WSGR to serve as corporate counsel for a client, CarsDirect, the first company to sell cars online. “My motivation was the same thing that attracted me to the firm,” he says. “It may seem mainstream now, but at that time, selling high-value automobiles as well as finance and insurance products online to consumers was quite novel, so there were no forms or models to rely on—we were pioneering a new industry.” He also joined at a time of management change and relished both being part of a new leadership team and the luxury of focusing all his experience and knowledge on a single company.

However, Randy soon realized that he missed the diversity of clients and the broad range of legal transactions an international law firm affords. He rejoined WSGR’s Palo Alto office in 2001 and eventually was tapped by Bob O’Connor, a partner in the firm’s now-closed Salt Lake City office, to help provide senior leadership for Overstock.com’s initial public offering. Randy began dividing his time between the Bay Area and Salt Lake City, where he found that he enjoyed working with the Utah team and their clients, especially those focused on the then-emerging field of clean energy. In time, Randy and Bob, along with other firm attorneys, established WSGR’s clean technology practice, which became one of the core components of the current energy and infrastructure practice. The two moved to the San Francisco office in 2007, the year that Randy was elected to partnership at the firm.

“We saw the promise of clean tech right away and loved working with companies led

by passionate ownership and management teams that were charged with creating economically viable solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as climate change and sustainable energy generation,” Randy says. “That’s what inspired me then and keeps me inspired now. Plus, it’s exciting to watch new technologies develop well before the rest of the world is aware of their potential.” He pauses and adds somewhat ruefully, “The downside is that you can’t tell anyone about it.”

Randy sees the rise in renewables as a pivotal moment for businesses. “Persistent trends such as population growth, increased demand for energy, and unattended infrastructure act as drivers and edify significant market opportunity for disruptive technologies and business models across a wide swath of the global economy,” he says. “This includes areas such as power generation and storage, transportation, building, infrastructure, and water. Enterprises that do not take advantage of these opportunities—or at least ready themselves for the changes wrought by them—will find it increasingly difficult to compete on the global stage.”

While leisure is rare for Randy, he relishes time with his wife, Caitlin, and 10- and 7-year-old daughters, although life at home isn’t exactly in the slow lane, either. “Our philosophy as parents is to get them involved in as many things as we can as early as we can, so we can see where their interests lie and support them,” Randy says. In particular, that means gymnastics, softball, drama, and guitar, which take time and planning, especially when Randy helps coach the softball team. It all adds up to a very busy schedule, but Randy and Caitlin wouldn’t have it any other way. “We want them to participate in things, not just be spectators,” he says. “You learn so much more that way.”

A desire to help younger generations also influenced Randy’s decision to participate in the firm’s recruiting efforts, both at his alma mater, the University of Chicago, and local law schools, such as UC Berkeley School of Law. “Having a presence on the campuses, doing outreach, and letting students know that this is a place where they can come and thrive is important for a major law firm like ours,” he says. “When the topic of diversity comes up, I’m happy to address it, and the fact that the firm has been able to attract a significant number of diverse attorneys helps, too—it’s easier to visualize a career in a place where you can see people who look like you.”

“Regardless, though, of race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, students are seeking the same things: They are looking for opportunities . . . meritocracies . . . places that will help them build a rewarding and successful career however they define success, whether it’s making partner or using the firm as a launch pad to join a start-up or other exciting client.”

As Randy said earlier, he just starts talking and lets his enthusiasm spill out. And when he does, it’s hard to resist his “simple” pitch.

Q&A with WSGR Partner James Huie

In December 2016, James Huie was among the nine attorneys elected to Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati’s partnership. He officially became a partner of the firm on February 1, 2017. James joined WSGR as a lateral associate in 2006. Based in Palo Alto, he advises life sciences and technology companies on general corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, strategic partnerships, and private equity and debt financings. He also has extensive experience representing venture capital firms and other investors in private equity and debt financings. James received his J.D. in 2005 from Santa Clara University School of Law. He earned a B.A. in molecular cell biology with distinction from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2002. What brought you to WSGR?

I grew up in the Bay Area during the ’80s and ’90s and witnessed the evolution of Silicon Valley from a cluster of small towns into the home of the dot-com boom. I heard references to WSGR while growing up and during college and law school. As soon as I decided to pursue a career in law as a senior at UC Berkeley, I was determined to work for the top firm in tech—and that was

WSGR. After being turned down by the firm four times, I finally lateralled in after completing my first year as a corporate associate at another firm. [WSGR partner] Casey McGlynn and the Cypress team gave me a shot, and I’ve been working at my dream job for the last 10.5 years. What kind of opportunities has WSGR afforded you?

I believe that WSGR’s core values have allowed me to achieve my fullest potential. For example, the firm’s commitment to meritocracy gave me the freedom to hone my legal skills without the interference of unnecessary office politics, racism, or pettiness. Meanwhile, I have been fortunate to be surrounded by mentors within my group and across the firm who have guided me throughout my legal career. At what point did you know you wanted to be a partner at the firm?

People often say to “follow your passion” or “do what you love.” While I didn’t enjoy every aspect of being a corporate associate, I couldn’t imagine anything more exhilarating than working as a corporate attorney at WSGR. As a sixth-year associate, I decided to shoot for partnership to keep the party going. What are your goals as a new partner?

Since I’ve achieved my primary goal at my dream job, I’d like to help my clients, associates, colleagues, and friends with their journeys and goals. Go team! What traits do you feel are most important for success in the legal profession?

Persistence is one of the most important traits. A junior associate needs to persist through the steep learning curve that will exist during their first few years. Persistence is also necessary when dealing with difficult situations, mistakes, and rejections. What are the top things you think young attorneys should do to develop their careers?

Initially, I think young attorneys should seek exposure to a variety of projects within their practice area to obtain broad, substantive knowledge. They should also seek exposure to a number of partners and senior associates to learn different working and communication styles. This is why our Launch program—which enables first- and second-years in Palo Alto to experience a broad range of corporate and securities work—is so fantastic. After that, dive deeply into your practice areas. What role have mentors played in your career?

They kept me out of trouble. If you weren’t an attorney, what might you be?

A dancer. Any final words of wisdom?

Don’t be a spectator. Be the protagonist of your own life. For interviews with Megan Baier and Myra Sutanto Shen, two other diverse attorneys who were elected to the firm’s partnership in December 2016, please see the 2017 edition of the WIN Newsletter, available at https://www.wsgr.com/publications/PDFsearch/WIN-newsletter-2017.pdf.

Diversity at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & RosatiSince its founding more than 55 years ago, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati has been committed to the principle that diversity is a core component of a thriving organization. Rather than maintaining a formal diversity policy, the firm approaches diversity as a naturally integrated facet of our business culture. Internally, we incorporate diversity considerations into all talent management practices, including recruiting, hiring, reviews, partner promotions, and retention. Externally, we collaborate with law schools and on-campus groups to build a strong pipeline of diverse recruits, and we regularly partner with community organizations that promote diversity.

Through these efforts, WSGR has built a culture in which employees of all backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences are encouraged and empowered to achieve their maximum potential.

Leadership

Diversity at WSGR is not just about numbers, it’s about leadership. Diverse—defined for our purposes as ethnic minority, women, and/or LGBT—partners hold prominent roles at all levels of management, including on the following:

• Board of Directors

• Strategic Practice Development Committee

• Nominating Committee

• Compensation Committee

• Finance Committee

• WSGR Foundation’s Board of Trustees

In addition, the firm’s chief operating officer is a minority woman, and diverse partners hold chair positions on nearly every standing committee of the firm. At the associate level, one of two co-chairs of the Associates Committee is a minority woman and numerous committee members are diverse.

Attorney Diversity

Retention, career development, and promotion are key components of our diversity strategy. We track the diversity of attorneys in the nominations pipeline

and those promoted to partner to ensure opportunities for diverse attorneys. Consider the following:

• In 2017, 44 percent of the attorneys promoted to partner were diverse

• Overall, since 2002, over 50 percent of the firm’s attorneys elevated to partner have been diverse

• Currently, 40 percent of the firm’s partners and 55 percent of the firm’s associates are diverse

WSGR is frequently recognized by leading third-party sources as one of the country’s most diverse law firms, as described in further detail on page 8.

Against this backdrop, the firm’s attorney-focused programs and events are designed to foster professional development and offer participants the opportunity to establish meaningful relationships with their colleagues. For example, our Women’s Task Force hosts panels and brown bag lunches to discuss issues relevant to women associates. In addition, the firm’s diverse partners host affinity-group networking receptions and other internal social activities designed to promote mentoring relationships.

Recruiting

WSGR strives to attract, mentor, and advance the best legal talent from all backgrounds—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation—and devotes significant resources and time to sponsor events, programs, and organizations committed to building a pipeline of diverse attorneys.

In 2017, we hired a diverse summer associate class, with 46 percent of our 57 summer associates being women, 40 percent being minorities, and 5 percent being LGBT. We will continue to build the law school diversity

pipeline by funding scholarships for diverse students and strengthening our firm’s relationships with diverse student groups on campuses. The WSGR Foundation annually sponsors a Diversity Scholarship through the California Bar Foundation to assist incoming first-year law students from historically underrepresented groups in the legal profession who have committed to attend a California law school. Please see page 6 for an interview with Fallon Griffin, a student at UC Berkeley School of Law and our most recent Diversity Scholarship recipient. In addition, as a partner of the Diversity Scholar Program of PracticePro, a San Francisco-based legal education start-up, WSGR is sponsoring a University of Pennsylvania law student beginning in 2017. PracticePro’s Diversity Scholar Program was launched in 2014 to support law students from groups that have been historically underrepresented in the legal profession, including racial, ethnic, and gender groups, members of the LGBT community, and those with physical disabilities. With respect to activities and events geared toward law students, over the past year, the firm has:

• Sponsored and attended the Dale Minami Boalt Alumni Fellowship Dinner

• Hosted and participated in the Boalt Hall Women’s Association lunch panel on negotiation

• Sponsored and attended the 12th Annual UCLA Law Firm Diversity Reception

• Sponsored and attended the Women of Stanford Law’s annual dinner

• Participated in the Berkeley Center for Law, Business and the Economy (BCLBE) and Women in Business Law mixer

• Sponsored and attended the Penn Law Women’s Association annual dinner

• Sponsored and attended the Stanford Black Law Students Association’s Fourth Annual Black History Month Gala

• Provided panelists for PracticePro’s Washington, D.C., and San Francisco conferences and attended its Third Annual Texas Diversity Reception

• Participated in the Georgetown University Women in Firms Networking Reception

• Participated in the Bay Area Legal Recruiting Association’s Diversity Speed Networking event and reception

• Sponsored and attended the Stanford Black Law Students Association Diversity Career Fair and reception

External Affiliations

WSGR is involved with numerous external organizations that promote diversity, including Alley to the Valley (a community of accomplished women in entrepreneurship, venture capital and angel investing, law, accounting, and other areas), the Asian Pacific American Bar Association, Asia Society, Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom (BALIF), DirectWomen, the Japan Society of Northern California, La Raza Centro Legal, the Korean American Bar Association of Northern California, Medtech Women, the Silicon Valley Japanese Entrepreneur Network, theBoardlist, Watermark, and Women2Boards. The firm is proud to support the American Bar Association’s Resolution 113 promoting diversity in the legal profession. We have also participated in the ABA’s Model Diversity Survey in an effort to advance the profession toward reflecting the full panorama it serves.

In addition, WSGR has signed the New York County Lawyers’ Association statement to implement efforts to increase diversity in the legal profession.

Getting to Know 2016 WSGR Foundation Diversity Scholar Fallon Griffin

In August 2016, the California Bar Foundation selected Fallon Griffin, a first-year law student at UC Berkeley School of Law, as the 2016 WSGR Foundation Diversity Scholar. Fallon (shown above with WSGR Foundation administrator Gail McFall) took time out of her busy schedule to share some information about her background, her career aspirations, and her gratitude for the support she’s received from the WSGR Foundation.

What led you to pursue the study of law?

I’ve known I wanted to be an attorney since I was 14 years old. My identical twin sister and I are the youngest of seven children, and our family’s hardships and my experience growing up in South Central Los Angeles have been fundamental in shaping my aspirations to study the law. I have experienced injustice

and I know what it means to be voiceless. Pursuing a career as an attorney will allow me to expand my understanding of the world around me. My law degree will also empower me to help ensure that equality is a right practiced and granted to all people, regardless of socioeconomic standing.

Is there a particular area of the law that interests you?

I find various areas of law interesting, such as civil rights, intellectual property, corporate, litigation, global disputes, and labor and employment. As of now, I am open to exploring different areas of law.

What do you hope to do upon graduating from law school?

After law school, I am interested in working at a large law firm, though I’m not sure yet what area of law I will pursue. I plan to devote time to pro bono projects as well. In addition, my sister and I aspire to create a nonprofit organization that will centralize resources in South Central Los Angeles to address the immediate struggles that our community faces daily.

What’s something about you that people might be surprised to know?

Most people are surprised to know I started taking college courses when I was 14 years old because high school wasn’t challenging me enough. As a result, I finished high school and my first two years of college in three years. I then graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in philosophy when I was 19 years old.

We understand your twin sister is also a student at Berkeley Law. Has she imparted any advice as you’ve embarked upon this new chapter in your life?

My sister had a very successful 1L experience at Berkeley Law, which included multiple scholarships and a 1L summer job at a law firm. When I entered law school, I felt pressure to mimic my sister’s 1L experience, because I wanted to do well. As a current 2L, my sister has played a pivotal role in helping me to keep things in perspective during my first year. She always reminds me to enjoy law school and to create my own law school experience. I’d like to think that I’m doing a great job creating my own law school experience, as I’ve adopted my own study routines and have joined various different student organizations. More importantly, I am enjoying law school.

What does it mean to you to be selected as the 2016 WSGR Foundation Diversity Scholar?

Being selected as the 2016 WSGR Foundation Diversity Scholar means a lot to my family and me. Prior to receiving the scholarship, I attempted to obtain approval from the Dean of Students to work so that I could continue to help take care of my mother. After the denial of my work-study request, I was stressed about how I would afford to be a full-time student. However, the scholarship has helped to alleviate that burden. I am thankful for the generosity of the WSGR Foundation, because it has allowed me to focus on my studies and take advantage of all the resources and opportunities Berkeley Law has to offer.

I know that I must reach back as I climb and help someone as WSGR has helped me. Thank you for investing in my dreams.

The California Bar Foundation’s scholarship program supports diverse California first-year law students who will one day be leaders of the legal profession. The WSGR Foundation has supported the program since 2008.

As part of a broader initiative to give back to the communities where our employees live and work, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati provides pro bono legal services to numerous nonprofit organizations that reflect the firm’s commitment to diversity. In addition, the firm offers pro bono legal assistance to numerous minority individuals in asylum, U-Visa, and Dream Act cases. Below we highlight our recent pro bono work on behalf of three organizations, all of which have been supported by the WSGR Foundation:

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati has enjoyed a long relationship with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCR). Since the start of 2016, the firm has provided pro bono legal services to LCCR in connection with numerous asylum and U-visa matters, clemency petitions, and the organization’s voting rights project. LCCR’s asylum program provides legal assistance to people seeking safety in the U.S. for a variety of reasons (while U-visas provide immigration status to non-citizen crime victims who are assisting or are willing to assist authorities in investigating crimes), and its clemency program provides legal assistance to federal prisoners who seek review of their sentences that may be shorter under the new sentencing guidelines. Meanwhile, through litigation, voter protection, advocacy, and education, LCCR’s voting rights project has had a tremendous positive impact on communities of color, low-income communities, youth, people with disabilities, and other traditionally disenfranchised populations.

WSGR partner Steve Guggenheim serves on LCCR’s board of directors, and numerous attorneys and staff have provided pro bono support to LCCR since 2016, with the most significant time commitment coming from Tania Abbas, Nathan Cao, Mary Chamaki, Elyse Dorsey, Evita Grant, Kelly Knoll, Jason Koo, Drew Liming, Shea Loewen, Candida Malferrari, Nick Miller, Rodolfo Munoz, Celine Purcell, Moira Rueda, Ben Tolman, and Cali Tran. Founded in 1968, LCCR works to advance, protect, and promote the legal rights of communities of color, and low-income persons, immigrants, and refugees. Assisted by hundreds of pro bono attorneys, LCCR provides free legal assistance and representation to individuals on civil legal matters through direct services, impact litigation, and policy advocacy.

WSGR is proud to work with Abilities United, a 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to advance advocacy, inclusion, and independence for people with developmental disabilities. Over the past few years, the firm has advised Abilities United on various employment law and intellectual property issues. For example, WSGR attorneys helped review and revise various employment law forms, including Abilities United’s employee handbook, and provided counsel to the organization’s HR team on an as-needed basis.

The WSGR team members who have provided recent pro bono services to Abilities United

include Mark Parnes, Aren Balabanian, Caitlin Courtney, Michelle Ma, Candida Malferrari, JeAnne Reyes, and Briza Sanchez.

Founded in 1963 by 12 families whose children had intellectual disabilities, Abilities United serves a diverse group of individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area who have developmental (autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and intellectual disability) and physical disabilities or are at risk of developmental delay. Since its inception, Abilities United has offered people of all ages and abilities educational, therapeutic, recreational, and vocational experiences to help them lead meaningful lives, as well as connections to community resources that make it easier for them to lead the lives they chose.

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati recently represented Peninsula Bridge in its merger with Building Futures Now, which was announced in April 2017 and closed in June 2017. The transaction brought together two college access organizations supporting low-income students, each with more than 25 years of experience. The combined entity will provide 600 socioeconomically disadvantaged students with academic and socioemotional support in a 12-year program model to help them succeed in college-preparatory high school programs and four-year colleges. The WSGR team that represented Peninsula Bridge in the transaction was led by Steve Bernard and Andrew Kirkpatrick and included Mark Parnes, Myra Sutanto Shen, Alyssa Frederick, Stephen Horton, Alex Katsnelson, Lucericia Messiah, and Meg Thering.

Founded in 1989, Peninsula Bridge provides highly motivated middle school, high school, and college scholars in low-income communities with academic and personal support from their middle school years through college graduation. The organization helps to break the cycle of poverty and greatly increases each student’s chance for success in school, life, and career, empowering the next generation of employees, entrepreneurs, and leaders from diverse backgrounds.

• WSGR ranked No. 3 overall in The American Lawyer’s 2017 Diversity Scorecard, with 27.1 percent minority attorneys and 20.3 percent minority partners. In addition, the firm ranked No. 3 for the highest percentage of minority partners and No. 4 for the highest percentage of Asian-American attorneys.

The annual Diversity Scorecard is one of the best-known benchmarks measuring law firm diversity, tallying and ranking the number of Asian or Asian-American, Black or African-American, Latino or Hispanic, and self-described multiracial partners and associates at Am Law 200 and National Law Journal 250 law firms.

• The firm was presented with the California Bar Foundation’s (CBF’s) Leading Change Diversity Award at a ceremony held in Los Angeles in September 2016. WSGR was recognized for its “continued commitment to greater diversity and inclusion, including consistently ranking at the top of The American Lawyer’s list of law firms with the highest number of associates and partners of color.”

• In August 2016, for the fifth consecutive year, our Austin office received an “A” grade on the Austin Law Firm Diversity Report Card, which is published annually by the Hispanic Bar Association of Austin, the Austin Black Lawyers Association, the Austin Asian American Bar Association, the South Asian Bar Association of Austin, the Austin LGBT Bar Association, and the Travis County Women Lawyers’ Association.
