Lawyers as Corporate Directors: What Attorneys Can Bring to the Boardroom (and why they have trouble getting there)

Join a panel discussion with Mary Cranston, JD ’75; Ellen Richey, JD ’77; and Gabriela Parcella, JD ’94; three Stanford Law School alumnae and sought-after directors who have brought decades of legal and business experience to corporate boardrooms. They will describe how seasoned lawyers contribute to better corporate governance, but also how lawyers encounter and must address bias against attorneys on corporate boards. Presented by Stanford Women on Boards, and moderated by Carol Lam, JD ’85 and Justine Young Gottshall, JD ’94.
