Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman has appointed complex commercial and labor and employment litigation partner Stacie Yee as executive chair of the firm’s diversity and inclusion efforts.

Yee, who is based in Los Angeles, takes over the role from former corporate partner Brian Wong, who left the firm’s San Francisco office last month to become a managing counsel for corporate, finance and governance at the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. Wong served as Pillsbury’s executive partner for diversity and inclusion from 2014 to 2018.
