The 2024 CLM Defense Counsel Study
Steering Committee

This is a study of the industry, by the industry. Accordingly, these survey questions were developed with the input of a dedicated Steering Committee whose members represent a diverse group of law firms and serve a diverse range of industry clients. Their help was invaluable in designing a survey that will promote meaningful dialogue and discussion across our litigation management community. We thank them for their help.
