<h4>About Wiley Rein LLP<u></u><u></u></h4>
<h5><a href="https://www.wiley.law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.wiley.law</a></h5>

<p>We are the firm of choice in DC for many of the most innovative, influential, and transformational companies, business groups, and nonprofit organizations.

<p>Our interdisciplinary approach allows us to anticipate challenges, craft policies, and deliver solutions that empower emerging innovators and established industry leaders to thrive in an era of rapid evolution and heightened scrutiny.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Why did you decide to become a NBA-CLS sponsor?<u></u></h4>
<p>Wiley is honored to serve as a Gold Sponsor of the National Bar Association – Commercial Law Section, supporting its work to advance inclusivity in the legal profession and foster meaningful connections between in-house and outside counsel.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h4>Additional Information<u></u></h4>
<p>Wiley is home to a dynamic group of attorneys dedicated to our clients, our work, and our community. At Wiley, we aim to leverage our collaborative culture to celebrate the collective strength of all people – all under one umbrella.</p>
<p>Wiley is committed to inclusion and engagement, fostering a culture where all employees are encouraged to bring their unique perspectives to the table. The firm&#8217;s dedication to pro bono work and community service underscores its commitment to making a positive impact beyond the legal profession.</p>
<p>Wiley also invests in the next generation of legal leaders through strategic pipeline initiatives. We offer scholarships for pre-law and 1/2L law students who have demonstrated financial need, academic achievement, leadership, and resilience. These programs provide critical exposure to the legal field and help build pathways to success.</p>
<p>Our affinity groups play a central role in promoting connection and growth within the firm. These member-founded groups—including AANHPI Lawyers, Black Lawyers, Latinx Lawyers, LGBTQ+ Lawyers, Parents-in-the-Law &amp; Allies, Veterans, Military Families &amp; Allies, and the Women’s Forum—meet regularly to foster mentorship, inclusion, and professional development.</p>
<p>Our efforts have earned national recognition. We once again received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index and were named a Top Performer and Compass Award recipient by the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity—our fourth time receiving this honor. We also continue to be recognized among the <em>Washington Business Journal’s top corporate philanthropists.</em></p></div>

<h4><strong><span style="color: #61121b;">About​ Shook, Hardy &amp; Bacon LLP</span></strong></h4>
<h4>www.shb.com</h4>
<div>
<p>Shook, Hardy &amp; Bacon L.L.P. has long been recognized as one of the premier litigation defense firms in the country.  Founded in 1889, Shook has 16 locations in the United States and the United Kingdom, including offices in Kansas City, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Orange County, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington, D.C. Shook is known for its abilities and success in litigation – more than 90 per cent of its attorneys are litigators, and many have advanced degrees in the health and sciences fields. The firm has represented leading international companies in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical and medical devices, technology, chemicals and automotive. In a five-year span, Shook lawyers have tried more than 100 first chair trials in state and federal courts, successfully defending clients against claims involving product liability, environmental and toxic tort, patent infringement, labor and employment and other claims. Shook has represented the industry’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers for more than 40 years.  The firm has also represented U.S. cigarette manufacturers in product liability litigation continuously since 1957. In recent years, the firm has leveraged its complex product liability litigation experience to build substantial national practices in intellectual property, environmental and toxic tort litigation, data security and privacy, employment litigation, commercial litigation, regulatory counseling and public policy. While product liability remains a core strength and a growth area for the firm, practice diversification has allowed Shook to offer a variety of innovative solutions to regulatory and compliance challenges as well. Shook’s success has captured the attention of many in the industry. Who’s Who Legal &#8211; The International Who’s Who of Business has named Shook Product Liability. Defense Firm of the Year for 16 consecutive years. In 2020, BTI Consulting named Shook a “Product Liability Powerhouse,” one of only two firms in the U.S. to receive this ranking. Law360 has twice named Shook in its Product Liability Groups of the Year, and The American Lawyer has twice recognized the firm for its Product Liability Litigation Department of the Year award. Shook was recognized as one of the top 30 law firms in the country for excellence in client service by BTI Consulting Group, making the BTI Client Service A-Team 2021. The recognition is based on an annual client service survey with 350 general counsel and other in-house legal officials and includes hundreds of law firms working with U.S. clients with at least $1 billion in annual revenue.</p>

<h4>Additional Information</h4>
<p>Shook stands out for its commitment to diversity in the workplace and its inclusive culture. The firm is led by chair Madeleine McDonough, who is on the board of directors for the Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession.  Shook is repeatedly recognized for its diversity efforts. For the 14th consecutive year, Shook earned a 100 percent score on the Corporate Equality Index, the highest rating for LGBTQ+ equality in the workplace. Missouri Lawyers Media recognized Shook in its 2020 Diversity &amp; Inclusion Awards for the firm’s work supporting and advancing diversity and inclusion initiatives. When Law360 released its 2020 Diversity Snapshot, which examines the current state of minority representation in the legal industry, Shook ranked in the Top 30 for the number of minority attorneys and seventh in minority partner promotions among law firms with 251-600 lawyers. Shook’s many diversity initiatives include the Shook Scholars Institute, a three-day intensive diversity fellowship program designed to give law students a chance to learn from litigation powerhouse attorneys in interactive small group settings. Shook’s newest diversity initiative, The Honorable Jon Gray Lawyers Leadership Academy, aims to enhance the long-term advancement and retention of minority lawyers through an 18-month leadership development program including mentoring, skill-building and client-facing opportunities. Shook partners with many different organizations to support the advancement of minorities in the legal profession, including the Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, Minority Corporate Counsel Association, Equal Justice, and state, local and minority bar associations.</p>

<h4>About​ Greenberg Traurig</h4>
<h5>www.gtlaw.com</h5>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p>From our humble beginnings in 1967 in South Florida, our focus has never changed: serve clients better.</p>
<p>Five decades ago, while at lunch in a South Florida deli, attorneys Larry J. Hoffman, Mel Greenberg, and Robert Traurig saw an opportunity to establish a new breed of law firm for South Florida; a firm that mirrored a New York style firm. In 1967, they founded the law firm Greenberg Traurig Hoffman, a quality business law firm where client service and collaboration ruled.</p>
<p>This new model was strong and scalable: deliver the quality legal work of which substantial U.S. commercial clients were accustomed; truly listen to and work hand-in-hand with clients to help them achieve their goals (not simply drown them in legalese); and do so while offering a decentralized structure that would help them control their legal costs. This approach would also allow the new firm to develop substantial and long-term relationships with some of the top businesses in the region, and, eventually, the world.</p>
<p>In the early 1990s, the consolidation of firms had started to take off. The firm developed a strategy that would allow it to deliver the United States to clients at much better value through quality lawyers in the key growth, financial, and political centers in the United States. Clients no longer needed two different firms for the same matter but because matters were priced locally and with flexibility, they could take advantage of market differences when it came to budgeting.</p>
<p>The firm’s cultural strategy attracted the highly ranked attorneys, who were already perceived as leaders in their community. These individuals wanted to join a firm of positive people who valued working together and shared experience and clients for the benefit of all involved.</p>
<p>The new firm was (and remains) non-bureaucratic. When clients needed a decision, they knew they were talking to someone who could make it happen.</p>
<p>From the beginning, Greenberg Traurig selected laterals not solely on traditional criteria, but also on how well they fit this new culture of collaboration. Additionally, the firm focused on creating a business staff roster that aimed to be the best in the profession.</p>
<p>Early on, Greenberg Traurig developed a strong commitment to giving back to the community. Attorneys and business staff striving to make a difference by leading, volunteering, and donating to a rich spectrum of causes.</p>
<p>Fifty years after its founding, Greenberg Traurig has more than 2,300 attorneys and 40 locations on three continents.</p>
<p>As each new office opened, this unique culture was replicated, but never dictated. The firm grew by way of laterals who fit in and had a passion for quality work and collaboration, and in response to client needs. Greenberg Traurig has never done a merger and remains one firm. Each new office can be traced to an opportunity to better serve clients.</p>
<p>There never has been a headquarters office. From Day 1, people have been empowered to do the right thing and the best thing no matter where they were sitting. These qualities have allowed the firm to thrive along with its valued clients, attorneys, and staff.</p>
<p>We are proud of our achievements and grateful to our founders and to all those who continuously work harder and smarter to expand their vision.</p>

<p><strong>Bowman and Brooke LLP is a nationally recognized trial firm with one of the largest product liability practices in the country.</strong></p>
<p>Since 1985, we have defended corporate clients as both lead trial counsel and national coordinating counsel in high-exposure and technically intricate lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions. The firm’s attorneys defend a variety of corporate clients, including <em>Global 500</em> and internationally-based companies, in widely publicized catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters as well as other complex litigation. We have tried cases in more than 350 courthouses in 48 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and several Canadian provinces.</p>
<p><strong>Our experienced trial lawyers are <em>Courtroom Tested. Verdict Vetted.</em><sup><em>®</em></sup></strong></p>
<p>We regularly try precedent-setting bellwether cases and have become a national presence in defending our clients in class actions, federal multi-district litigation, state consolidated actions and other complex matters. Our resources go beyond our core group of first-chair trial lawyers to include the legal analysis and briefing brainpower necessary to aggressively and tirelessly pursue the results our clients demand, both in the boardroom and in the courtroom.</p>
<p><strong>We are real trial lawyers defending products and manufacturers.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anywhere. Anytime. Any Courthouse.</strong></p>
