The corporate culture at Tyco International has undergone a transformation in the decade since two top executives were convicted of stealing more than $150 million from the company. And the company’s legal department has been at the forefront of that change.
Tyco, based in Princeton, now focuses on electronic security and fire protection products following major spin-offs in 2007 and 2012. The company has remade its legal department to go from one where, as Executive Vice President and General Counsel Judith Reinsdorf put it, lawyers in different divisions and locales “didn’t talk to each other,” to a matrixed environment where lawyers are encouraged to give feedback about their peers. What’s more, the company’s attorneys now have a focus on making the company more efficient and boosting the bottom line.
