Ciena Corp. is a cutting-edge high-tech company that places high value on speed and innovation. And its legal department is no exception. Imagine a baseball player who’s fast on the field, has a golden glove on defense and can hit home runs—and you’ve just described a Ciena in-house counsel.
Oh, sure, the in-house lawyers handle the traditional stuff. They negotiated nearly 1,700 contracts and amendments last year with customers, partners, suppliers and vendors. And they successfully closed three major patent lawsuits, and oversaw two key acquisitions. But they did it all with a creativity and breadth that belies the mere 14 lawyers (just nine in the U.S.) who make up the small department for this global corporation.
