About

Robert Weber is something of a non-conformist in his world; he is vigorously opposed to the concept of non-lawyers having a stake in law firms, is open-minded when it comes to fees, and often hires graduates in cities such as Michigan and Dublin, rather than take in more expensive recruits from law firms in major legal centers. His bold working methods are admired by Mary Ellen Powers of Jones Day, who says, ‘IBM has had a series of truly outstanding and innovative general counsel – Weber fits comfortably within their ranks’.
