Meet The OGCs: Lori Ross

In-house lawyers must help their clients balance risk against reward, a responsibility Lori Ross understands quite well, having spent almost half of her legal career in-house. "No business activity is risk-free," says Lori, "and it is the in-house lawyer's job to craft solutions that will benefit the business while also remaining legally compliant."

As an OGC handling commercial and privacy issues for companies across a range of industries, Lori often draws on her in-house experience, as well as her knowledge of business operations, to assist clients in analyzing risk and charting a course forward. Lori especially enjoys the collaborative nature of this work – "I like helping clients grow their businesses, and it is incredibly rewarding to see how my legal work is contributing to a larger team effort."
