A lawyer's juggling act; Theodore R. Tetzlaff is a general counsel - and a law firm partner

Article Abstract:

Theodore R. Teztlaff is a partner at Chicago's Jenner and Block and general counsel to Houston's Tenneco Inc. The law firm job came first, and he came by his corporate counsel job due to a friendship developed with Tenneco CEO Michael H. Walsh while he worked as of counsel to the firm. Some critics believe there is an implicit conflict of interest in such a situation, but Tetzlaff and his employers feel otherwise, saying he receives no part of any Tenneco revenue coming to Jenner and Block.
