“It was truly an honor to be recognized with this award and I thank NESA for their work and spotlight on such important issues,” Williams said. “I am privileged to work in a field and at a firm that affords me so many unique opportunities in leadership and opportunities to work on behalf of the community.”
Williams, who was also recently appointed to the Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions Leadership Council, served for 20 years with the Department of Justice and as U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon before entering private practice with BBK. He now serves as a partner in the firm’s Environmental & Natural Resources practice group and serves his clients in Oregon and across the nation with fervent advocacy, always committed to solving the seemingly unsolvable.
