    Est. reading time: 5 mins

    Talk to a lot of lawyers and they’ll tell you they became interested in the law because of a parent or close family member who was an attorney. Or they enjoyed watching LA Law or Law & Order on TV. Or they were on the debate team in high school and fancied a career as […]

    Karen Turner McWilliams – SAIC

    Est. reading time: 4 mins

    It was bad enough that Karen Turner McWilliams was expecting an expensive car repair bill while attending the University of Virginia. It got worse when she went to get her car because the bill was much higher than the estimate. “I felt like I was a victim of a bait and switch,” she recalls. “It […]

    Est. reading time: 5 mins

    There’s a lab coat hanging in Colleen McKirryher’s office at Drew Marine’s headquarters in Naugatuck, Connecticut. She hasn’t had to wear it at the company’s research-and-development plant in nearby Waterbury, but that could change. A chemist long before becoming a lawyer, McKirryher talks the language of those who mix some very specialized products for one […]

    It’s not your typical day at the office, walking around a cadaver lab in Naples, Florida. While the sun shines outside, Trevor Arnold is in a large climate-controlled lab, watching dozens of doctors perform intricate operations on the bodies.

    Richard Trumka Jr. – U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Economic and Consumer Policy Subcommittee

    Est. reading time: 5 mins

    While it can be an uphill endeavor, at least there’s job security when one opts for a career in consumer protection, Richard Trumka Jr. tells Vanguard with what sounds like a battle-scarred chuckle. The work goes on and on … and on. “There’s always some company taking advantage of the consumer,” says the 36-year-old general […]

    Testimonials

    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.
    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.
    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.
