BearingPoint names new general counsel
BearingPoint has named Laurent Lutz General Counsel and Secretary. Lutz joins BearingPoint from Accenture, where, as Associate General Counsel, he was responsible for all legal matters relating to Accenture’s SEC compliance, corporate and finance activities.
As General Counsel at BearingPoint, Lutz will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Harry You and will lead the firm’s global team of lawyers.
“Laurent is the right person at the right time to join our team and lead our global law department,” said Mr. You.
“I worked closely with Laurent at Accenture and saw first hand his strength in leading many of the legal initiatives necessary for the firm’s successful transition from private partnership to public company,” said You.
Lutz received his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Louisiana State University in 1981 and then worked as a tax accountant from 1981-1983. After receiving his law degree from Tulane University in 1986, he practiced with the firm of Snell & Wilmer in Phoenix, Arizona, until joining Chicago-based Chapman and Cutler from 1989 to 1993. Lutz then worked for five years in the Legal Department of Allstate Corp., representing senior management in the company’s investment, treasury, international and reinsurance areas. Before joining Accenture in 1999, he had returned to private practice in a senior level position with Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw, a leading international law firm.
