Below is an excerpt:

Yet, the use of non-executive directors has grown significantly. Lovells was known to have appointed the first non-executive director back in the early 1990s and attested to the benefits of taking such a move. In raising this topic with Fred Lautz, Managing Partner at 480-lawyer Quarles & Brady, he offered this observation:

We have assembled a few partners who we call investment partners. They are attorneys who were partners in the firm at one time, and then went on to become business executives. After retiring or otherwise completing their executive roles, some of them have been willing to commit some portion of their time, under contract, to assist us in business development. We ask them to leverage their significant business contacts and community and business profiles to help position us to be in front of developing legal needs which fit our strategic imperatives.
