Mary Ferguson is Head of Legal Operations at BP, where she manages a team that supports a large global corporate legal department. With a JD from Catholic University's Columbus School of Law and a BA from Notre Dame, Ferguson came up through the eDiscovery trenches, starting nearly 20 years ago as a contract attorney doing document review on large legal cases. She worked in various litigation support roles before finding her way to Legal Operations. She's based in Houston and, when she's not trying to improve a process, she enjoys traveling and gardening.
