Jeanne M Siebert

Worked with her for years on the other side of the table. Despite constant pressure from marketing she never lost her cool and continued to provide calm and reasoned guidance. She continued to lay out work arounds to areas where others found only roadblocks. At times she may have needed to be more ...steadfast in saying no but that is probably more a reflection of her trying to find solutions to those seeking to ignore risks that were plainly laid out.

Worked with Jeanne for several years in house where she was responsbible for the review and approval of submitted marketing and advertising material. While we did not always agree, there was never an instance where she did not provide clear direction to work around a "problem'. She was always respon...sive and quick. Detailed in her work, she was always considered a team player. I would strongly recommend working with her - - she was probably the most straight forward and diligent attorney I have worked with over the years.

During the time I worked with Jeanne she was presented with a number of highly complex challenges in an area that was somewhat new to her. My colleagues and I were very impressed with how easily she was able to grasp our techinical problem and explain it to her own group in a very clear, concise and ...plain language manner. The results that were achieved spoke for themsevles as we were able to work through an issue that previously had been passed from attorney to attorney without the clarity we needed. At the same time she was quite personable to all those who she interacted with.

I worked with Jeanne as an outside attorney supporting her in house work. She had a terrific command of issues and from an outside perspective was able to provide a sensible balance between risk and protection of company interests. My observation of her in front of her clients was that she generated... respect and confidence even when pushing back. She would be a key player on any corporate legal team.

Jeanne showed great business skills and savvy in navigating many questions that required ability to balance risk and business needs. Not an easy task but she was able to do so garnering great respect for her judgment and ability to communicate the issues. She was a valuable team member of our busine...ss unit.
