| When Terry Miller was named general counsel of
the London Organising Committee of the Olympic
Games (Locog), she secured one of the country’s
most sought-after and high-profile general counsel
roles around.
Miller has the responsibility of ensuring the legal
framework is in place to allow the London 2012
Olympics to take place. That means everything from
the staging contract with the International Olympic
Council to sponsorship agreements and the contracts
with the expected thousands-strong volunteer
workforce that will make the Games a reality.
It is a monumental challenge that will not
culminate for five and a half years, and it is one
that is bound to attract plenty of media attention.
But in Miller Locog has found itself a woman up to
the task..
The former international general counsel for the
Europe and Asia operations of Goldman Sachs
knows how to negotiate tough. She may need to.
