There’s a passage in the new book “Indispensable Counsel: The Chief Legal Officer in the New Reality” (Oxford University Press, 2012) in which the general counsel of Avon Products says her job is like being a gymnast. “The best training for being a general counsel were my years as a high school gymnast,” Kim Rucker tells the book’s authors, E. Norman Veasey and Christine Di Guglielmo. “The balancing act, the difficult positions, and sometimes pain, but handling it all with grace and calm, and making it look effortless are the general counsel’s parallels to the life of the gymnast.”
Such are the personal and professional insights gleaned from interviews with more than 30 chief legal officers in Indispensable Counsel’s exploration of the modern general counsel.
