Rachelle Bin is assistant general counsel to Fox Rothschild and practices in the firm’s Princeton office. Apart from fielding continuous inquiries from firm lawyers in a multitude of practices, Bin in 2018 led efforts to integrate into Fox Rothschild some 130 new attorneys joining via the firm’s acquisition of Smith Moore Leatherwood of North Carolina. Bin’s work is “all-but-invisible to the outside world, but … is critical to the firm’s overall success,” according to one colleague. “For the past eight years, Rachelle’s clients have been her own colleagues.” Bin, whose background in legal ethics and discipline suited her well to the law firm in-house counsel role, works closely with firm privacy professionals, while also handling numerous other policy and procedural matters.
