"Nerdy Avengers." That's how Farrah Pepper, Chief Legal Innovation Counsel at Marsh McLennan, describes Priori's Client Advisory Board, and honestly, it's perfect. Priori's CAB is a space where legal leaders can connect over the challenges that don't get aired in public forums. The kind where you need someone who's been there, not someone with a polished answer. She says, "There's a comfort in meeting with other colleagues because more of what we're talking about is similar than different. It's always great to know that you're not alone."
