03.01.2022 Williams Mullen Celebrates Women's History Month and International Women’s Day 2022
At Williams Mullen, our female attorneys are not only valued and esteemed members of the firm, but also leaders in their respective fields who have been recognized on both the state and national level. We are humbled to have these women as part of our team and salute the amazing triumphs they accomplish both professionally and as active members of their communities.
In honor of Women’s History Month, as well as International Women’s Day, we are excited to share a new video series featuring just a few of the strong female attorneys Williams Mullen is proud to have at our firm.
To kick off the series, Cart Reilly speaks with Emily Harrison about the importance of finding mentors as well as balancing a busy law practice with family and community involvement.

It is important for us to identify those skills and gifts, and use them in ways that make us stand out to existing and potential clients.” - Mona O’Bryant, Partner
