The Board of Managers of the Vermont Bar Association approved the creation of a section for In-House Counsel at its meeting on May 23 in Montpelier. The new section was proposed by Mary Bouchard, Esq. of Vermont Gas Systems Inc.. VBA Board President Josh Diamond will be consulting with Mary to find and appoint the first chair (or chairs) of the new section.
The section will concern itself with all areas touching on the practice of law as in-house or general counsel. An In-House Counsel forum has been created on VBA Connect, which can be accessed from the VBA website. Anyone interested can reach out there to ask questions or make suggestions.
