This “Top 50 Women Lawyers” honor is the third for Baker Botts. Firmwide Intellectual Property Deputy Department Chair, Christa Brown Sanford and former firmwide Corporate Chair and now-Conoco Phillips Senior Vice President, Legal, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Kelly Rose, received this recognition in the past.
