“Trust, especially in the lawyer-client relationship, is essential. And, even more importantly, when you’re in-house and looking to maximize your impact with the smallest amount of resources possible, it’s so critically important because that trust enables you to move with significantly more speed and to leverage your resources in the best way possible.” — Megan Belcher
