Chief Legal Counsel
Richmond anchors the Shield function with clarity, foresight, and disciplined risk management, a lawyer whose operating style prioritizes prevention over reaction. Strong doctrinal grounding in civil procedure, employment/labor law, contractual reasoning, and governance; engages first principles, ensuring agreements, policies, and internal decisions align with legal requirements and organizational reality.
At Mary, he builds a repeatable legal backbone supporting contract structuring (B2B, government, partner engagements), governance/compliance posture, and strategic legal soundness without bureaucratic slowdown; contributes internal policy clarity, helping teams understand not just what is allowed but why boundaries exist.
His success is measured by the absence of crises: clean diligence, smooth negotiations, legal environment where teams execute confidently. As Mary scales cross-jurisdictionally, Richmond ensures growth compounds rather than fragilizes the organization.
