This attorney is not accepting clients.
Reason: In-House Counsel
I’ve enjoyed career accomplishments as an in-house attorney, a litigator, and a business development vice president at a Fortune 500 financial services firm. While working as a Director in the Law Department of CNA Surety, I partnered with other corporate attorneys to develop the National Law Forum, a research database of legal white papers, litigation and administrative updates, and other and business thought leadership. We were looking for a better way to organize, vet and easily retrieve all the legal ‘news’ that was bombarding us on a daily basis. When law firms and professional associations heard about our news database for corporate attorneys, they wanted their content to be included.
We partnered with an established publication, the National Law Review, and the National Law Forum research database became a daily legal news service. Today the National Law Review’s seasoned editors screen and classify breaking news and analysis authored by recognized legal professionals and our own journalists. We’ve become one of the highest volume business law websites in the U.S.
