Fennemore Craig is sponsoring and helping to launch the In-house Paralegal Blog because we believe it will satisfy a demand for paralegal resources that is not yet available, particularly in an easily accessible online format. Although there are several national paralegal associations, none of them caters exclusively to the corporate in-house paralegal or provides a web-based platform for in-house paralegals to exchange and develop beneficial information and ideas.
As in-house paralegals assume greater responsibility in managing law department operations as well as relationships with outside counsel and legal vendors, their need for high-quality legal support will grow. By participating in the In-house Paralegal Blog, Fennemore Craig hopes to become a trusted resource for in-house paralegals who need information, guidance, and high-value legal services.
I am a career Fennemore Craig attorney who has practiced for over 20 years in the employment, construction, and commercial litigation areas. I have served on charitable boards and in civic organizations and currently act as a judge pro tem in Arizona Superior Court. I am an avid motorcycle rider and fitness enthusiast who enjoys travel, time outdoors, and juggling school and club basketball schedules for my son, Ian.
Please see Fennemore Craig’s website for more information about the firm. You can also access my full bio at Fennemore’s website.
