Since James Turoff took over as the general counsel at The Hershey Co. in late May, after a brief stint as interim legal chief, he’s been pushing a mindset shift within the legal department. 

Turoff wants his in-house lawyers to spend less time on routine work and focus more on finding ways to be strategic business partners. As part of that effort, Turoff recently created a chief compliance, ethics and privacy officer position within the legal department.
