"She had the idea to put together a task force...which was an amazing confluence of advanced planning," said Diana Manning, managing principal of Bressler, Amery & Ross. "I think it shows the support she has in the legal community. The number of people who agreed to participate in the task force, to provide ideas for the task force, and then to get it across the finish line is nothing short of astounding. I think the name really said it all—Putting Lawyers First."

"Health insurance is meant to help people when they are the most vulnerable, and Aetna violated this most basic, and most important trust. The company's use of boilerplate denials based on illegal technicalities isn't just wrong, it's unconscionable," said Chris C.'s attorney, David Lilienstein of DL Law Group, in San Francisco.

In Memoriam: Richard "Dick" K. DeScherer (1944-2024) We mourn the loss of our friend and former partner and Co-Chairman, Richard "Dick" K. DeScherer. Dick was a member of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP for more than 24 years. He was the consummate business lawyer, wonderful colleague and true friend. He joined the Bloomberg organization in 2012, a client for whom he had served as their principal legal advisor since their inception, and later was appointed as a member of their board. Dick's knowledge and experience were unparalleled, as evidenced by appointment to leadership and board positions at numerous well-respected organizations. He was deeply involved in civic and community engagements through his work with the S.L.E. (Lupus) Foundation, Lupus Research Institute, United Hospital Fund of New York, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, National Dance institute, and Baryshnikov Dance Foundation, among others. He received an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University in 1970, a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1969, and a B.A. from the University of Virginia in 1966. He was a member of the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. We offer our sincerest condolences to his family, including his wife Jennie, son Christopher and wife Amanda, daughter Kate, and grandchildren Emmett, Serena, George, Emily and Madeline. We will remember Dick with the utmost respect, admiration and affection. His loss will be felt by his many friends and colleagues at Willkie, and by all those whose lives he touched.
Congratulations to FLB Law's Newest Partner Matthias J. Sportini
