Deborah R. Willig, managing partner of Philadelphia labor, employment, workers’ compensation and family law firm Willig, Williams & Davidson, has been chosen to serve on a five-person advisory committee to counsel Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) players on their decision to stay in or opt out of their union’s current collective bargaining agreement.

With rising attendance and viewership as well as a new media rights deal that is set to earn the WNBA six times what it makes in its current deal, the players’ union is considering how to leverage the league’s growing popularity.
