I work in the private sector and am a part of the legal team reporting now to our new litigation & compliance counsel. I work very closely with my Technology (IT) colleagues. This particular reporting structure works very well for us - at least at this stage of the game. At one time, I was asked to join our data security team, but felt it would be better to remain in legal. It is possible that I will move under Technology at some point, but for now reporting to legal is fine. Rock on!
