Additional highlights of the inaugural GC Mid-Atlantic issue include a report on the rise of women running corporate legal departments, a review of upcoming Supreme Court cases of interest to corporations, an update on new state bar policies on limited-purpose law licensing and a profile of Richard Miller, general counsel for Pittsburgh’s Oxford Development Co.
