Dry Law PLLC

The second celebrity presentation for Dry Law PLLC’s “Clients Unplugged—Lunch & Learn Series” is in the books. Former colleague and current client/friend Jessica Derenbecker was kind enough to fly in and present her advice on what in-house counsel expects from outside counsel with her presentation: “An inside view from your former outside counsel”. Any time a client takes his or her time to impart their wisdom is appreciated, but Jessica’s 4 am wake up call to make it happen went above and beyond. It was a fascinating look as to how we can improve from someone who recently walked in our shoes. We have another presentation lined up for next week (stay tuned for details), but if you have any interest in educating, conversing, or breaking bread with the DryLaw crew, please let me know. We’d love to host you. Thank you Jessica!
