Womble Bond Dickinson Names New Leaders for DEI Committee, Women of Womble

Womble Bond Dickinson (U.S.) LLP is proud to announce leadership transitions in the firm’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) committee as well as the Women of Womble (WOW).

Lisa Moyles will become the new Chair of the firm’s DEI Committee. She succeeds Kevin Hall, whose term is expiring. In addition, Tara Cho will serve as the Vice Chair of the DEI Committee, and when Moyles’ term expires in 2026, Cho will become DEI Committee Chair.

The DEI Committee leads and directs the firm’s comprehensive diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Moyles is an IP Partner assigned to WBD’s Raleigh, N.C. office. A mechanical engineer by training, she has successfully guided her clients’ growth using IP strategy and protection in technologies spanning the mechanical, chemical, and electrical fields.

Cho also chairs Womble’s Privacy and Cybersecurity Team. She has been a leader in WBD Pride and WBD APAN, the firm’s respective affinity groups for LGBTQIA+ and Asian/Pacific Islander team members and their allies.

Hall will continue to serve on the Firm Management Committee and as WBD’s Columbia, S.C. Office Managing Partner. He is a commercial litigator and political law attorney with almost 30 years of experience in complex commercial litigation, administrative law, education law, and First Amendment law.

In addition, Amy Clayton will succeed Cathy Hinger as WOW chair. WOW is a network of women lawyers dedicated to supporting the professional success of one another through intentional acts of mentorship, collaboration, and sharing of opportunities.

Clayton is a Real Estate Partner in the firm’s Greenville, S.C. office. She advises clients in commercial real estate transactions, commercial finance, commercial leasing, commercial property tax appeals, business formations, and general real estate and corporate law.

Hinger, a Partner in the firm’s Business Litigation Practice Group, recently was appointed WBD’s Washington, D.C. Office Managing Partner. She has been pivotal to WOW’s evolution and success during her more than eight-year tenure as the group’s leader.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion are extremely important to our firm, and with Lisa, Tara, and Amy assuming these new roles, we have three great leaders to help us work toward these goals,” WBD (U.S.) Chair & CEO Betty Temple said. “I’d also like to thank Kevin and Cathy for their outstanding leadership and continued service to the firm.”

All of these leadership changes are effective May 1.
