Partner Stuart Davidson Appointed to Board of Workshop School

Willig, Williams & Davidson partner Stuart W. Davidson has been named to the Workshop School’s inaugural Board of Advisors. Davidson and other board members will help develop a growth and sustainability plan for the Philadelphia-based school.

The Workshop School plans to become a more project-based school where students are challenged to solve real-world problems. It soon will outgrow its current location on South Hanson Street in Philadelphia and will need to open a second facility in the near future.

Board members will have the opportunity to assist with business planning, fundraising, communications, and network building as part of their new roles. With the help of this team of professionals, the Workshop School plans to expand the opportunities available for students over the next five years.

In addition to his work as chief counsel to large regional and local unions along the East and Gulf coasts, Davidson is a frequent lecturer, teacher and author on issues such as ERISA, fiduciary responsibilities, labor law, employment discrimination, OSHA matters, drug and alcohol testing and other labor and employment concerns.
