In 2006, Ulmer & Berne created a Women’s Professional Development Committee which is now known as UB WILL™ – Women In Law and Leadership. We believe strongly that our women attorneys bring a broad range of experience, talent and skill to our Firm and clients. The mission of UB WILL™ is not only to attract, retain and advance our women lawyers, but also to promote the successes and achievements of both our women attorneys and clients.

The Mission of UB WILL

Ulmer & Berne believes strongly that the women attorneys of the firm bring a broad range of experience, talent and skills to our firm and our clients.  The mission of UB WILL is to promote the successes and achievements of both our women attorneys and our clients.  This is accomplished in two ways:

Internally, our goal is the retention and promotion of our accomplished women lawyers; the successful development of business by our women lawyers; and the advancement of women to partnership and management roles within the firm through education, training, mentoring, marketing and networking.

Externally, our goal is to work with our clients to better service their business needs and gain success; to raise the professional profiles of our women attorneys; and to assist our women lawyers to lead and serve in our communities in such a way that betters the lives of others.
