Beyond the business of law, Schmidt leads by example through his service on the Boys &amp; Girls Club of America’s National Board of Governors.

The American Lawyer Industry Awards honors outstanding achievements in the legal profession. Winners will be celebrated at The American Lawyer Industry Awards 2026, Nov. 12, 2026, in New York City.
