Jennifer Hightower - Cox Communications: Mentorship & Telecom Law

For Jennifer Hightower , there’s nothing more essential than mentorship. In fact, she credits her ascent to the role of SVP and GC at Cox Communications to the amazing mentors and diverse relationships she cultivated along the way.

From her time as an insurance defense attorney to her time working at BellSouth and Cox Communications in the early days of telecom law, these mentors provided her with experience, guidance, and the motivation to keep growing.

Today, she prioritizes this tradition of mentorship with the next generation.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Getting in on the ground floor of telecom law

- Taking over the GC role in a pandemic

- Initiatives that increase collaboration and trust across the legal team

- The transfer of knowledge in a mentor/mentee relationship
