We are deeply saddened by the loss of our longtime colleague and friend, Bill Ohle.

For more than 30 years, Bill was a trusted colleague and friend to many at Schwabe and brought that same thoughtful approach to his clients. An accomplished litigator with 35 years of experience, he represented clients across the construction and utility industries, helping them navigate complex projects, regulatory matters, disputes, and litigation.

Those who worked with Bill will remember the way he carried himself: calm, thoughtful, and unassuming. He was a steady presence and treated those around him with genuine kindness. We will miss him enormously and are grateful for all that he shared with us over his long career.

Our hearts are with Bill’s family and loved ones as they navigate this profound loss.

Bill’s family has asked for privacy during this difficult time. At Schwabe, we are focused on caring for his family and our colleagues while ensuring continuity for his clients and matters.

If you were working with Bill and have an urgent question or matter requiring immediate attention, please contact our general counsel, Colin Folawn, at cfolawn@schwabe.com or 503-796-7462, or CEO Tom Tongue at ttongue@schwabe.com or 503-796-3747.
