Lyft scales down legal team in a company-wide reduction in force
“When people ask me why I’ve stayed at Lyft so long and what I love most about my job, the answer is always the same: it’s the people,” Lyft general counsel Lindsay Llewellyn wrote. “To the Legal Eagles leaving Lyft, you’ll always be part of the Lyft Legal Family.
