“Kerri has been a tremendous partner in the legal department, and a key leader on important initiatives throughout the company,” said Roberts. “She is a first-rate transactional lawyer and is unafraid to take on any substantive assignment. From IT contracts to complex regulatory matters she always adds value.”

With extensive experience in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, and compliance, McClellan is responsible for a wide array of legal matters.
“She consistently brings innovative ideas and a valuable perspective to each project,” said Roberts. “She anticipates needs extremely well, and brings professionalism, great energy and good humor to all. She is a source of positive encouragement, support, and reinforcement to those around her who seek to model her best behaviors.”
