Lori Schechter of McKesson Corporation

After a sterling 23-year career in Morrison & Foerster’s litigation practice, Lori Schechter took the leap into the in-house world at her client McKesson, where she assumed the associate general counsel role in charge of the healthcare company’s litigation efforts in 2012. Two years later, she was appointed as general counsel, where she leads a 300-strong team which handles the legal, governmental affairs and compliance issues raised by the company’s vast medical and pharmaceutical operations.

Her promotion to the top legal role came at a time of significant expansion for the company, including it’s USD8.3 billion acquisition of German healthcare and pharmaceuticals business Celesio to form one of the world’s largest healthcare companies. Her tenure in charge of the legal department has also seen Schechter rely on her well-honed litigation expertise to advise on a plethora of disputes facing the company, most notably in defending numerous claims related to its distribution of opioids.
