BRANDT has promoted Emily Cour to Associate General Counsel. In addition, Cour has been named to be assistant corporate secretary to a number of the recently created BRANDT subsidiaries.
In her new role, Cour will assist in protecting BRANDT‘s legal interests across all BRANDT companies and will provide hands-on counsel to BRANDT’s leaders and management staff, including drafting key legal documents, providing HR counsel and legal support and developing and assuring legal compliance.
“I am excited to work more directly with the amazing management teams that BRANDT has in place for all of our subsidiaries and affiliated companies. It is often said, but so true: BRANDT is truly a great place to work because of the people that are Team BRANDT and I look forward to continuing to be part of that team.”
said Cour.
Cour started her new role on March 1. She will continue to report to R. Lee Allen, BRANDT Chief Legal Officer.
“I have worked with Emily for 14 years, first in private legal practice and now here at BRANDT. She is an incredibly bright, strategic and hardworking lawyer and has adapted well to the variety of different legal and business challenges presented to in-house legal counselors. She has proven herself to be a strong, yet empathetic young leader at BRANDT.”
