Levi Strauss: Casual on Dress Policy, Not on Trademark Infringement

One perk of working for the company that created jeans is that Hilary K. Krane gets to wear them -- every day, and even to board meetings. As GC and senior VP at Levi Strauss & Co., one of Krane's primary legal concerns is trademark infringement; the company holds more than 5,000 trademarks and pending applications in about 180 countries, and is currently pursuing about 500 infringement matters worldwide. Krane started in January, drawn in part by the company's progressive values concerning its workforce.

Name and title: Hilary K. Krane, senior vice president and general counsel

Age: 42
