Sterling Miller_myLawCLESterling Miller | Hilgers Graben, PLLC

Sterling Miller is CEO and Senior Counsel at Hilgers Graben PLLC, a nationwide law firm (and the largest female-owned law firm in the US). He has enjoyed a wide and varied 30-year legal career. He is a three-time General Counsel, having served in that role at Marketo, Inc., Sabre Corporation, and Travelocity.com where he managed international teams handling a myriad of complex legal issues including “bet-the-company” litigation, M&A, IPO, corporate secretarial, data privacy, government affairs, and commercial agreements.

Out of law school, he was an associate at Gallop, Johnson, and Neuman in St. Louis. He began his in-house career in 1994 at American Airlines. He led the legal team for Sabre Corporation’s successful IPO in April 2014. In January 2019, after leading the legal team that worked on the successful sale of Marketo to Adobe, he returned to the Dallas office of firm Hilgers Graben PLLC for a second stint as Senior Counsel, focusing on commercial matters, litigation, and data privacy. He became CEO of the firm in 2022. He has published five books with a sixth on the way in 2024.

Sterling earned his J.D. degree from Washington University in St. Louis (Order of the Coif/Law Review) and his bachelor’s degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University, where he was Student Body President among other honors. He is certified in data privacy/security by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (CIPP/US). He is a highly sought-after speaker for legal department offsites and for legal and industry panels including presenting at the South-by-Southwest conference in Austin, TX and keynoting several ACC events. In all, he has presented over 300 times and growing.

Under his leadership, Inside Counsel magazine named the Travelocity Legal Department one of the “Ten Most Innovative” legal departments in the United States (with the Sabre legal department later winning honorable mention under his tenure). He has been a multi-year finalist for the Dallas Business Journal’s “Best Corporate Counsel” award. Sterling also writes frequently for legal publications, including for Thomson Reuters, on topics like artificial intelligence, the use of data analytics, and issues of interest to in-house lawyers generally. In 2020, he prepared a teaching module for Baylor Law School on the application of artificial intelligence and the practice of law.

Sterling serves on the Board of Directors of Terrasoul Superfoods and the advisory boards of Travefy.com and Kyte.com. He publishes a widely-read and award-winning legal blog entitled “Ten Things You Need to Know as In House Counsel.” The ABA published three of his books: “Ten Things You Need to Know as InHouse Counsel: Practical Advice and Successful Strategies” in 2017, “Ten (More) Things You Need to Know as In-House Counsel: Practical Advice and Successful Strategies (Vol II)” in 2019, and “Showing the Value of the Legal Department: More Than Just a Cost Center” in 2021. His third book – a cookbook titled “The Slow-Cooker Savant” – came out in late 2018. Sterling’s first book, “The Evolution of Professional Football: 1920 – 2015”, was published by Mill City Press in 2015. His sixth book, and fourth for the ABA, is out now and titled, “The Productive In House Lawyer: Tips, Hacks, and the Art of Getting Things Done.”

You can follow him on Twitter @10ThingsLegal and LinkedIn where he regularly shares his commentary and insights on legal issues.
