For the first time, The National Law Journal recognizes leading corporate legal departments in the Seattle area. We’ve spotlighted the departments that are setting the standards for outside counsel management, corporate compliance, diversity in the profession and handling of big deals and litigation. We’ve highlighted one particular company — you may have heard of it — that manages all those tasks with exemplary finesse. Other legal departments in the Emerald City and its surrounding areas that we’ve selected demonstrate forward-thinking strategies in how they meet the evolving legal demands of their companies.
IN-HOUSE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE YEAR
MICROSOFT CORP.
Led by Brad Smith, general counsel and executive vice president for legal and corporate affairs since 2002, Microsoft sets standards both in the way it handles the legal tasks for a $74 billion corporation and in the way it functions as a global citizen.
