The winners were selected by directors and general counsel of

Best Corporate Law Firms study.
The event honored Siri S. Marshall, former vice president,
general counsel and chief governance and compliance officer,
General Mills, with the Lifetime Achievement Award for her
accomplishments and commitment to the legal profession.
Additionally, the event recognized America’s Top General Counsel

companies succeed: Karen Cottle (Adobe Systems Incorporated); Larry
D. Hunter (DIRECTV); Mark J. Ohringer (Jones Lang LaSalle); and
Robert C. Weber Esq. (International Business Machines Corp).

“Risks and legal matters are intrinsic to the boardroom
discussions of today’s public companies,” stated TK Kerstetter,
president of Corporate Board Member. “The responsibilities and
decisions that general counsels are facing reflect the complexity
of doing business in today’s global marketplace.”
“This annual event provides the legal profession with a
much-needed opportunity to honor the accomplishments of some of the
most distinguished general counsel in the United States,” said Neal
Hochberg, senior managing director and global leader of the
Forensic and Litigation Consulting business segment, at FTI
Consulting. “The role of general counsel has become increasingly
more critical in advising the C-suite and board of directors and in
assuring the success of companies in this changing environment, and
we are excited to put a spotlight on these leaders, as well as some
of the top law firms identified on this year’s ranking.”
In addition to naming the top 25 corporate law firms nationally,
the Corporate Board Member/FTI Consulting study identifies the top
law firm in 25 major U.S. metropolitan areas, according to the
directors and general counsel polled. A complete listing of the
national, general counsel and metropolitan rankings will appear in
