Former GC joins LegalBizDev project management team

By Jim Hassett

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how Mike Egnatchik, former Associate General Counsel (International) at Xerox Corporation, has joined the LegalBizDev team.

Today, I am pleased to announce that Kirk G. Forrest has also joined us to help meet the rapidly growing need for our proprietary ?just in time, just enough? project management training programs.

Kirk has over 30 years of experience in law departments and in law firms, including senior management positions at three multi-billion dollar companies: as General Counsel at Sam?s Club and Minerals Technologies, and as Associate General Counsel at The Williams Companies.  He has also been a litigation partner at Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, and served on the legal staff at MAPCO, International Paper, and Xerox. Kirk received his JD from Harvard Law School and his undergraduate degree from Cornell University.  He has extensive experience in litigation, risk management, corporate governance and business counseling, and he led the litigation function at International Paper, MAPCO and Williams.  Kirk has served as Vice President of the International Association of Defense Counsel, and on the Board of Directors of several bar associations, including the Minority Corporate Counsel Association.  He was a founding member of the American Corporate Counsel Association, and has been writing and speaking about alternative fees for more than fifteen years.
