Three of the 31 attorneys recently promoted to partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher are Latinas, marking a proud moment for Maria-Leticia Ossa Daza, the Colombia-born founding chair of Willkie’s Latin America practice, who has mentored several up-and-coming Latina attorneys at the firm. More than 70% of the core team that makes up Willkie’s Latin America practice, in fact, is female.

Ossa Daza said the legal profession has made great strides in increasing representation of all individuals, but she noted that it still has a long way to go when it comes to diverse leaders at the top. “For me, it is personally very important to see this continue to change over time,” she said, adding that the promotion of the Latina partners “shows that the work we are doing within Willkie to build an inclusive culture is paying off.”
