The Institute for Legal Reform, a U.S. Chamber of Commerce affiliate, is celebrating its 20th anniversary on Wednesday. Its president, Lisa Rickard, has been there 15 of those years and seen a host of changes in the corporate legal world.

Among the ILR’s accomplishments under Rickard, it led the effort to pass the landmark Class Action Fairness Act of 2005; created and expanded the Madison County Record enterprise, a chain of nine legal newspapers; and guided the global expansion of ILR into Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas.
