It takes a lot for a general counsel to make Corporate Counsel and Inside Counsel's list of Transformative Leaders. Not only have the GCs on this all-female list grappled with numerous business and legal challenges, but they've done so with a team-oriented attitude that lifts up the other in-house lawyers around them. These Transformative Leadership honorees for 2017 were first named back in October at the Women, Influence & Power Conference in Washington, D.C. and will be profiled in the January issue of Corporate Counsel. We look forward to seeing what more they'll accomplish in the coming year:
