About Abby Shackelford
With over a decade of experience as General Counsel and/or in-house counsel within consulting firms, staffing firms, and government subcontractors, I have steered my clients through the intricate frameworks of contracts, negotiations, litigation management, labor and employment law, federal contract administration, risk management, and compliance. This journey has been enriched with the successful management of multifaceted legal issues, from directing and overseeing multi-million-dollar litigation to adeptly resolving contract disputes, employee relation issues, government audits, and regulatory inquiries.In my capacity as General Counsel at The Select Group, I stand as a pivotal legal advisor to a rapidly expanding, purpose-driven technology consulting firm. I work closely with the leadership team, business units, and external partners to provide strategic and pragmatic legal advice, manage litigation, draft and negotiate contracts, agreements, and policies, manage data privacy, ensure compliance with laws and regulations, and protect the company\'s interests and reputation. Working collaboratively with leadership teams, business units, and external partners, I find deep satisfaction in delivering not merely legal advice but strategic counsel that aligns and fortifies the broader objectives and mission of the organization: to impact lives positively.
