The only thing that might be more challenging than operating a business in the highly regulated government-services sector? Running that company’s legal department. DynCorp International LLC’s eight-person legal department boasts a breadth of experience that could make a 100-person department sweat, spanning everything from antitrust litigation and aviation law to intellectual property and government contracting. Not to mention day-to-day legal oversight for a company with nearly 30,000 employees located all over the world.
General counsel Gregory Nixon said his department’s "secret sauce" is having lawyers with a speciality in a few areas who can easily manage the transition to a number of other practices. "I’m really proud of what a…small cadre of lawyers have been able to do," he said.
