Well, here we are at the end of another year. I hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday season. As usual, I like to take a few minutes every December to reflect back on the year and take stock of where we are with the “Ten Things” blog. It’s been a busy year […]
Just like I promised last week, it’s December and time for my annual list of top legal blogs for in-house counsel! This is one of my favorite “Ten Things” blogs to write because it gives me a chance to recognize some of the best legal writers out there today. It also means that the year […]
