Disagree: There is no driving mandate for a legal director
Directors and Boards, Vol.36(5), p19
22 Sep 2012
Abstract
Being a fellow lawyer, the author is sympathetic to Gary Schmidt's argument. CEOs have always been favorites for board seats. With the adoption of Sarbanes-Oxley and its requirement of a "financial expert," CFOs have found their spots on the A list. The author is sympathetic, but he is not convinced. The core of Schmidt's claim is that the addition of a board member with a general counsel's skill set would improve the overall functioning of the board by alleviating other board members of the distraction of managing the "corporate governance process and myriad of legal commitments."
