Navigation Bar unveils new Corporate Counsel Committee, approves key rule amendments
Convening for the last time in 2024, the Board of Governors Friday approved a raft of proposed rule amendments – one would create a new reporting requirement for thousands of Florida Registered Paralegals – and launched a “Florida Bar Standing Committee for Corporate Counsel.”
Addressing her colleagues in a St. Augustine conference room, President-elect Sia Baker-Barnes, a civil trial lawyer from West Palm Beach, said the Corporate Counsel Committee will serve a segment of Florida’s legal community that is too often overlooked.
“They feel that they do not have a role to play in our Bar because we have not paid attention to them,” she said. “I feel that this is desperately needed.”
