About William Ellison

As the Vice President, Associate General Counsel at Lowe's, I lead the litigation strategy and defense, insurance, and legal claims practice groups, with a focus on risk mitigation, preventative counseling, and proactive feedback to business partners and stakeholders on trends and lessons learned. I have over 25 years of extensive litigation, risk management, and leadership experience in the retail and home improvement industry, working with diverse and cross-functional teams to deliver strong and positive outcomes for Lowe's and its customers. I also serve as the Secretary of Lowe's Foundation, where I oversee the charitable and philanthropic activities of the company, aligning them with its core values and mission. I am passionate about giving back to the communities where we operate, and supporting causes that enhance the quality of life and well-being of our associates and customers. I am a versatile and respected leader, both in the Legal Department and throughout the Lowe's organization, with a demonstrated and consistent record of creative solutions, exceptional team management, and continuous professional development.
