Kristine Campbell, General Counsel at U-Haul

Brian Roberts (https://twitter.com/beeberts) talks to Kristine Campbell, the General Counsel at U-Haul. Kristine joined U-Haul in 2011 and was appointed General Counsel in 2023. Prior to joining U-Haul, Kristine was a member of the class action legal team at Greenberg Traurig LLP. She received her law degree from Brooklyn Law School and her undergraduate degree from Connecticut College. Kristine talks about growing up in Phoenix, going away to college and working on the east coast before deciding to return home after 9-11 to be closer to family and friends. She talks about what it was like practicing law at a large firm and how much she enjoyed her time at Greenberg Traurig and then, ultimately, why she transitioned in-house and what that transition was like when she joined U-Haul. Kristine shares how she manages a large team of in-house lawyers along with a large network of outside counsel and the personality traits she looks for in the attorneys she works with, both in-house and outside. Brian and Kristine compare notes and share stories about what it’s like to serve as the general counsel of large, publicly traded companies, what they believe makes for a good general counsel, and advice for young attorneys who aspire to that position.
