David Machlowitz, retired general counsel of giant Medco Health Solutions, spent enough time in-house to suspect that many fellow GCs would rather be “negotiating with the Taliban right now” than sitting in the hot seat occupied by Peter Kilgore, the general counsel of the National Restaurant Association who is dealing with the fallout from the Herman Cain sexual harassment allegations.
Machlowitz, retired GC of giant Medco Health Solutions, was joking, but Kilgore probably isn’t laughing. He’s too busy fielding the legal and media demands after being thrust into the spotlight when allegations arose that Cain harassed one or more female employees while president of the association from 1996 to 1999.
