Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Audrey Anderson has been appointed to serve as interim general counsel at Dartmouth College. Audrey began serving in the position in mid-September and is expected to remain in the role through the end of the year.
In an article for Law360 covering the announcement, Audrey said “I am honored to have the opportunity to serve Dartmouth, and its mission to educate future leaders, while they identify their next general counsel. Playing this role at such an important time in higher education will help me better serve all my clients when I return to private practice.”

Drawing on her over 30 years of experience gained as outside litigation counsel, government counsel, and as the general counsel for a major research university, Audrey brings judgment, creativity and practicality to solving her client’s problems across a range of issues arising from the activities of students, faculty and others in learning, living, teaching, researching and working on a college campus.
