Jackie Rice: MillerKnoll — Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable Innovative Legal Leadership

In days past, in-house legal was traditionally seen as a “last resort” for up-and-coming lawyers.

While that mindset is fading, corporate in-house legal teams are constantly exposed to unique challenges, especially when it's a small team stretched to its limits.
