Schlumberger CLO Dianne Ralston is 2022 Houston General Counsel of the Year

Dianne Ralston

Dianne Ralston had no lawyers in her immediate family – no one encouraging her to go to law school.

“In fact, my father had to be deposed a few times in his career and did not have a fondness for the profession after that,” she said. “But I was always fascinated by it. So, after I earned two business degrees from Texas A&M and spent several years working for Shell Oil in a global procurement role, I decided to return to get my law degree.”
