In this week’s issue, we spotlight corporate counsel teams working in what’s arguably the most beautiful region of the country, Southern California. We’ve focused on legal departments in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and elsewhere that demonstrate special skill in corporate compliance, outside-counsel management, big deals, diversity efforts and pro bono work. We’ve set our sights on one particular company — no doubt, you’ve welcomed it into your living room — that’s handling with particular finesse the growing demands placed upon in-house counsel. Whether working at, as examples, a well -known restaurant chain with stores across the country or at the maker of ubiquitous household products, these in-house lawyers — in legal departments big and small — are helping their companies thrive in the Golden State. And beyond.
