Regina M. Pisa is the Chairman Emeritus of Goodwin Procter LLP, a leading Global 100 law firm with more than 850 attorneys, serving clients from locations in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Ms. Pisa led the firm as Chairman, and before that Managing Partner, for more than 16 years, from 1998 through September 2014. She was the first woman to lead an AmLaw 100 law firm in the United States and one of the youngest executives – at age 42 – to take the helm at the time of her appointment. In a survey of AmLaw firms, Ms. Pisa was recognized by her peers as among the most highly respected law firm leaders in the United States.

A recognized national business leader, Pisa’s vision and leadership fostered an unprecedented period of growth for Goodwin Procter. Shortly after assuming her leadership role in 1998, she spearheaded a strategic plan that raised the firm to national prominence. The plan resulted in an expansion to several new markets, an intense focus on high-growth practice areas and the acquisition of lateral attorneys in key markets.
