In our Lawcast: Legal Gamechangers series, we explore how high-performing in-house legal teams approach and deliver creative solutions and long-term improvements. Our first episode features Jenny Whiteman, Managing Legal Counsel at Federated Hermes, a global leader in active, responsible investing.
