Ralph Baxter became almost synonymous with his firm during his 22 years at the helm of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. By the time he officially stepped down at the end of 2013, he had built the firm into a 1,000-plus-lawyer global force. He’d also gained the reputation as a risk-taking, ambitious innovator, spearheading the trend to relocate back-office work to lower-cost markets, among other moves.
On Monday, he announced his first official plans for his post-firm life—and they don’t stray too far from his past. He’s taking on board roles at two data analytics-oriented legal services innovators, Lex Machina and Ravel Law. He’s also chairing a new industry think tank, the Legal Executive Institute, and dipping his toe in the blogosphere.
