The Center for Women in Law is excited to host a Power Series conversation with Sandra Phillips, the Senior Vice President, Enterprise Integrity, Chief Sustainability Officer and Chief Legal Officer of Toyota Motor North America.

In these roles, Phillips helps Toyota navigate significant business and legal challenges while supporting its expansion as a global mobility company, one that is an industry leader in autonomous, connected and sustainable vehicle technologies. She also provides strategic guidance in areas such as global mobility transactions, cybersecurity, complex litigation, information technology and crisis management. Prior to joining Toyota in 2012, Phillips held roles leading litigation management and strategy at global law firms and at Pfizer, Inc.

During this one-hour conversation, Phillips will discuss her legal career, the path to her current role, and the ethical standards and challenges of a corporate general counsel. Phillips will discuss career readiness and the role of a general counsel to help companies navigate regulatory frameworks, engagement with outside counsel, business planning, litigation, and engagement in a global leadership team.
