Kaley Bell – Consilio

Est. reading time: 4 mins

Typically, if a company experiences a data breach, that company sees it as an emergency requiring immediate attention to protect its—and its clients’ and customers’—information. When the issue is resolved, the company moves forward. At Consilio, however, any such data breaches could result in a complete loss of client trust, which is why Consilio focuses […]

Keith Dolliver – Microsoft

Est. reading time: 5 mins

Many of Microsoft’s products, such as computers and software, are used for business, but the company’s gaming consoles are purely for entertainment. While Keith Dolliver isn’t playing Xbox at work, he finds his own fun in the legal department. He’s been with the global technology company, founded in 1975, for 27 years, with much of […]

Kate Hartshorn – Protegrity

For Protegrity and Kate Hartshorn, ransomware attacks and cybersecurity breaches are a question of when, not if. “We assume the bad actors are going to permeate firewalls and steal customer data, so we provide fine grain protection of the data,” Hartshorn says. The attacks are costly, too. IBM estimates the average ransomware attack costs an […]

Kami L. Holmes – Grinnell Mutual

Est. reading time: 5 mins

It’s far from a pleasant memory, but as Kami L. Holmes acknowledges, much about litigation is not pleasant. The parents across the table had just lost a young son, and this would be Holmes’ first mediation involving a fatality as a member of the Grinnell Mutual legal team. The grief-stricken parents displayed photos of him […]

Non-fungible tokens. QR codes. Batman-branded digital trading cards. For a playing card purveyor formed in Belgium more than 50 years ago, Cartamundi is up with the times. That’s provided lots of work for Kevin Dineen, the company’s vice president of legal for North America. As he explains, each innovation is supported by intellectual property enforcement […]

Est. reading time: 4 mins

New York City can be a confusing place to drive, especially when the signs are hard to read. So repairing and replacing them is an important task the city outsources. The locally headquartered engineering, architectural and consulting firm ATANE having been awarded one of those contracts, its crews and subcontractors are immersed in the years-long […]

Kristina Dinerman-Cooper – Twitch

Charging into battle against sword-wielding orcs or racing down the Autobahn in a nitrous-boosted luxury vehicle—these are just some of the possibilities for livestreaming available to content creators on Twitch, a service primarily used by video gamers wanting to promote their skills and get paid. While not all Twitch subscribers are content creators, they all […]

Karen Petrulakis – Wellesley College

Est. reading time: 4 mins

When leaders at Wellesley College started creating the school’s first strategic plan in 2019, they knew inclusion and a global mindset would be part of it. However, the COVID-19 pandemic made the need more apparent and important. “The goal of inclusive excellence runs through all of our strategic plan,” says Karen Petrulakis, Wellesley’s general counsel. […]

Kimberlee Seah – Soleo Health

A patient and her family were pleased when she was discharged from the hospital after receiving care for her endocarditis—the inflammation of the inner linings of her heart’s chamber and valves. However, she still needed follow up care—infusions of antibiotics—to prevent further infections. Finding a provider on short notice wasn’t easy—just getting insurance company approval […]

Testimonials

The piece highlighting my company, Bob Baker Enterprises, Inc., came out fabulous. Our company is in the new and used car sales and service industry. Everyone was great to work with and extremely professional. They produced a high-quality product and have provided expert assistance and guidance post-production of the article.
– Wade Poulson, General Counsel, Bob Baker Enterprises Inc.
I was honored to be the subject of an article. I enjoy reading Vanguard articles and seeing how other attorneys got to their positions and see their jobs. It's also interesting to see how different law firms partner with the subjects of the articles.
– Henry Marquard, in-house counsel, Stanley Consultants Inc.
As promised in advance, my feature in Vanguard has increased my visibility within the profession and prompted more than a few people I have not communicated with recently to reconnect. One of the Italian law firms I have used in the past is now in the process of interviewing me for an article on their website and tweeting out the feature story. Activity and the number of people connecting with me on LinkedIn has soared, which is great. The Vanguard writers and editorial staff were great to work with—highly professional and made the effort to make the experience both fun and rewarding (they were also respectful of the time pressures and demands all lawyers face). I was very pleased with the experience and the final outcome. Needless to say, I have been very pleased. All in all working with Vanguard has been a very positive experience which generated good publicity for both Shawcor and myself. My sincere thanks.
– Tim Hutzul, General Counsel, ShawCor Ltd.
It was a great honor to be featured in Vanguard Law. Working with every member of the team, from the initial interview with Erin Clark, through production with Victor Martins, writing the article with Taryn Plumb and creating the final content with Dave Gushee, was a true pleasure. Everyone was very professional, enthusiastic and supportive, and their creative approach and positive attitude clearly came through in the final product.
– Kevin C. Rakowski, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, Compliance with Radian Group Inc.
