Senior In-House Counsel
Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania, Us
My principal responsibilities included advising and representing the company in connection with various legal issues including; general corporate matters, contractual and regulatory issues relating to structured settlements, litigation matters, and acting as a liaison between the company, existing and emerging customers and professional advisors. I interviewed, selected, and retained competent, cost effective outside counsel. I framed performance goals, guided work efforts and monitored performance of over fifty outside attorneys on a day-to-day basis while analyzing and responding to internal corporate needs. I also collaborated with insurance companies and their counsel regarding dispute resolution, risk management and compliance. I built networks to streamline business channels while fostering long-term, beneficial relationships with colleagues. I researched and compiled relevant internal and external data relating to multi-million dollar settlement acquisitions. Additionally, I managed complex tasks in a creative fashion under extreme time constraints while exercising sensitivity to corporate as well as customer needs, wants and ownership interests.
