Caleb Nelson - General Counsel
Caleb Nelson embodies the essence of a problem-solver, and mentor who has made a lasting impact in his department. From digitizing legal records to stepping up when a senior paralegal resigned, Caleb has shown resilience and initiative. He reconstructed undocumented processes, managed key legal responsibilities, and created a 36-page handbook to ensure continuity. His adaptability stood out as he implemented Trello for workflow, managed corporate registrations, handled subpoenas, and even drafted a legal memo that secured a trademark with the USPTO—tasks typically reserved for professionals.
Beyond his own work, Caleb uplifted his peers by initiating bimonthly student meetings, mentoring teammates, and fostering leadership. His intelligence, kindness, and quiet confidence have earned him widespread respect and have been instrumental to his office’s success.
