Bill Malley was mentioned in the Fortune article, "Can Black People Make Up One-Eighth of Corporate Board Members by 2028?" regarding the launch of the firm’s Black Boardroom Initiative.

Black people make up 13% of the population, but 37% of S&P 500 corporations did not have any Black board members in 2019, according to Perkins Coie. "Taking meaningful action on racism and diversity inclusion must start at the top," said Bill, Perkins Coie’s firmwide managing partner.
