SAN FRANCISCO (October 29, 2020)—Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that Bobbie Wilson, a litigation partner in the San Francisco office, has been named an honoree of the Women, Influence & Power in Law (WIPL) Awards by Corporate Counsel magazine. Honored in the Innovative Leaders category, Bobbie was recognized for the impact she has made, including her role in co-pioneering and co-chairing Perkins Coie's Strategic Diversity Committee.

The WIPL Awards 2020 honor top women lawyers who have made a remarkable difference in the legal profession and the Innovative Leaders category spotlights women who impact change and develop new strategies for better solutions.

"Bobbie is among the top litigators in the country. She is a strong advocate both in and out of the courtroom," said Shannon Bloodworth, co-chair of the firm's Intellectual Property practice. "What sets her apart, however, is her commitment to be a change agent. Bobbie has leveraged her role as co-chair of the firmwide Strategic Diversity Committee and as a member of the firm's Executive Committee as a means to institutionalize meaningful diversity strategies and improve existing policies focused on recruitment, retention, promotion, and community."

A prominent attorney in the Bay Area, Bobbie has extensive experience managing complex civil litigation, primarily in intellectual property. She focuses her practice on patent law, trade secrets, class action litigation, and workplace and regulatory investigations.

"I'm delighted to receive this recognition, which underlines the critical role played by women, and particularly women of color, in creating innovative and better solutions," said Bobbie. "It's truly inspiring to be acknowledged alongside such a group of leading women attorneys who are bringing change and diversity to the wider legal industry."

The WIPL Awards honorees were recognized during a virtual awards ceremony on October 28, 2020.
