William Stoeri

AS DORSEY’S MANAGING PARTNER, BILL’S PRIORITIES INCLUDE MAINTAINING DORSEY’S STANDARD OF LEGAL EXCELLENCE WHILE ADVANCING THE FIRM CULTURE OF INNOVATION AND INCLUSIVITY, ALL TO THE BENEFIT OF OUR CLIENTS, OUR COMMUNITIES, AND OUR COLLEAGUES.

Bill practiced law at Dorsey for over 30 years before taking its helm. During that time, he served as litigation counsel to some of the world’s most successful and innovative organizations. He credits those clients with teaching him valuable lessons about service and leadership, lessons he keeps at the forefront as he leads Dorsey-- our clients are our top concern, teamwork and cooperation are essential to success, and an organization’s people must be valued and provided with opportunities to succeed.

Bill is committed to continuing Dorsey’s robust investment in diversity and inclusion and has supported the implementation of policies that further that cause, such as the firm’s “Diversity Hours" policy which allows associates to count work and training that promotes diversity toward their billable hours requirements.

Innovation is also a top priority for Bill. As a member of the firm’s Management Committee, he supported the addition of an Innovation and Knowledge Management Department, and as Managing Partner, he has appointed the firm’s first Innovation Partner to lead the firm’s efforts in developing better and faster ways to serve our clients and provide exceptional value.

Bill finds that one of the most rewarding parts of serving as Dorsey’s Managing Partner is learning about our clients’ businesses from the people who help run them. If you are one of those people, or have questions about Dorsey, he would welcome your call.
