Hanover, MD (August 18, 2020) — Major, Lindsey & Africa (MLA), the world’s leading legal search firm, today announced the placement of Katherine H. Bennett as general counsel at FlexiVan in Scottsdale, AZ. The search was conducted by Casey Feldman, Managing Director in New York, and Margot Jackson-Bermudez, Director in Orange County, both of MLA’s In-House Counsel Recruiting group.
FlexiVan has been a leader in intermodal chassis leasing services throughout North America since 1955. It manages a fleet of over 120,000 chassis with a wide network of depots and service centers located in key intermodal markets.

We look forward to following both FlexiVan and Katie’s successes.”
