Legal Leaders Agree …

Susan’s tireless commitment to bettering the relationship between outside counsel and their in-house clients has truly changed the way both parties approach the attorney/client relationship.

When people look back fifty years from now, they will note that the years 2005-2011 marked a sea change in the way legal services are delivered.
