University of Miami law professor Michele DeStefano picked the brains of dozens of general counsel around the globe for her new book about legal innovation, and most of them agreed on some key points.

“I wasn’t surprised by their answers, but I was surprised by the consistency of their answers,” said DeStefano, author of “Legal Upheaval: A Guide to Creativity, Collaboration, and Innovation in Law.” She spoke with Corporate Counsel in an interview Wednesday.
