A career in law doesn’t have to be all tax code or malpractice suits. After all, Nona M. Lee found her niche in the field when she combined law with another one of her passions: sports.
As the senior vice president of general counsel for MLB baseball team the Arizona Diamondbacks, Nona manages the organization’s legal department, outside counsel relationships and is ultimately responsible for all legal matters affecting the organization. What does that look like in the day-to-day? Well, Nona tackles everything from facility-related issues and ownership transfers to working with lobbyists or assisting with player-related matters. She’s also the founder of the Phoenix Women’s Sports Association, an Arizona non-profit organization dedicated to helping girls and women in Arizona find their power through sports.
