On campus, he found the good life

Article Abstract:

Howard Ende, the general counsel for Princeton University, has just three deputies, Peter McDonough for litigation, employment matters and public safety; Lorraine Sciarra for tax, development, human resources, benefits and the university's VISA office; and Katherine Butolph for real estate, environmental law and intellectual property. He employs no primary outside counsel, preferring each time to pick the best firm for the job. The departmental budget is under $1.5 mil each year, with about $500,000 of that going for outside counsel.

Legal big wheel realigns firm ties

Article Abstract:

Thomas Harvie, the vice pres and general counsel of the Goodyear Tire Co, heads a department of 47 lawyers, most of whom are based at company headquarters in Akron. The department's budget is $30 mil, of which $15 mil goes for outside counsel and $4 mil for patent fees. Harvie uses between 200 and 300 outside counsel in each year, not resorting to even a group of primary firms. His choice depends on litigation. Harvie tries to accomplish most work in-house except for litigation and foreign deals.
