InOutsource, an industry-leading global legal consulting firm, today announced that Max Welsh has joined its staff as a senior risk management consultant. Welsh comes to InOutsource from Am Law 100 firm Foley & Lardner LLP, where he served as deputy general counsel.

In that capacity, he provided insight on professional responsibility and compliance and administered guidance on policies and procedures in risk management areas such as new business intake, conflicts of interest, client engagement documentation, data security and information governance.

In his new role for InOutsource, Welsh will leverage 14 years of experience in managing risk in complex legal environments to advise clients on information governance practices and policies. 

“In my career, I’ve had the opportunity to address risk management in a variety of capacities – from the position of deputy general counsel advising the C-suite to being a hands-on participant in crafting policies, staffing and redesigning conflicts processes. I look forward to using that experience to create risk-averse information governance standards for law firm clients,” said Welsh.

“Max has experienced firsthand what practicing lawyers and general counsel deal with daily in an Am Law 200 firm. In his role as deputy general counsel and in consultation with his peers at other large law firms, Max has practical knowledge in crafting real-world solutions and addressing an evolving set of risk management and information governance challenges,” commented Eric Mosca, director of operations for InOutsource. “We’re extremely happy he has joined InOutsource and look forward to his contributions to the company and our clients.”

Before being deputy general counsel, Welsh served as an associate at Foley & Lardner in the Securities Enforcement and Litigation Practice. He also worked as special counsel for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Welsh graduated from the George Washington University Law School in 2003 and is licensed to practice in both the District of Columbia and Wisconsin.
