Tashiana Williams is Associate Counsel at the American Bar Association’s Center for Professional Responsibility, where she leads international and domestic policy-focused efforts to advance ethics, integrity, and well-being within the legal profession. In her current role, she uses research-based evidence to determine long-term policy aims at the center of well-being, legal ethics and technology. Then engages stakeholders to turn policy aims into action.

Her career experience spans the public, nonprofit, and corporate sectors, with prior roles including Contract Assistant Attorney General in Illinois and Policy & Governance Counsel at Meta where she provided legal guidance on global governance, content moderation, and regulatory risks across emerging technologies and online platforms.

Her commitment to justice, regulation and systemic reform extends internationally. At the Islington Law Centre in London, she worked on immigration and asylum cases with policy implications tied to Brexit, advocating for vulnerable communities before international tribunals. Domestically, she has led trauma-informed advocacy for court-involved youth, contributed to civil rights class-action litigation, and consulted non-profits on voting rights policy during the 2020 U.S. elections. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame Law School and Northwestern University, she brings a multidisciplinary, human-centered lens to her legal practice.
