Klane has since held various legal positions at Capital One and has served as lead counsel for several business units, including corporate governance, corporate banking, commercial banking, intellectual property and technology. Most recently, she led the bank`s commercial and strategic transactions team. Over the next two years, Capital One lawyers and technologists worked with lawyers from the Greater Richmond Bar Foundation (GRBF), Central Virginia Legal Aid Society (CVLAS), and the Legal Aid Justice Center (LAJC) to develop JusticeServer, a cloud-based Salesforce application. The case management component of JusticeServer was launched in 2012 when CVLAS and LAJC began using it as their primary case management system, and to date, the system has been used to manage over 35,000 mutual legal assistance cases, benefiting over 81,000 pro bono clients. JusticeServer`s volunteer portal was launched in 2013, and since then, Virginia`s pro bono attorneys have used JusticeServer to provide pro bono legal services in over 9,000 legal aid cases, of which more than 24,000 pro bono clients have served in a myriad of civil law cases (e.g., domestic relations, consumer law, housing, bankruptcy, employment, immigration). The system has also been used to provide pro bono legal services to hundreds of non-profit organizations through the GRBF`s pro bono clearing-house program. Today, more than 1,200 volunteer lawyers are registered to take pro bono cases on JusticeServer. Finneran served as General Counsel during a period of expansion of the company, which acquired North Fork Bancorp in a $14.6 billion transaction in 2006.

Since the pro bono committee`s inception in 2011, Capital One`s more than 350 lawyers have donated more than 16,000 hours of pro bono service in local communities from offices in the Washington, DC, Richmond, New York, Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, New Orleans and Las Vegas metropolitan areas.

The company announced her appointment as the new General Counsel on February 28. In 2017, GRBF, CVLAS, LAJC and Capital One selected TechBridge, an Atlanta-based nonprofit technology development organization, to update and enhance JusticeServer to allow its portal to be used with more legal aid case management systems and deployed at scale beyond Central Virginia. In the spring of 2019, JusticeServer® 2.0 was launched and the volunteer portal was connected to all regional legal aid organizations in Virginia. The system has since been adopted in parts of New York, and expansion to legal aid organizations in California, Massachusetts and other jurisdictions is being considered.

At the first Pro Bono Summit of the Virginia Supreme Court in 2010, Capital One`s general counsel committed to providing in-kind benefits of its legal and technology services to facilitate efforts to bridge “access to justice” in his home state of Virginia and beyond. In 2011, Capital One`s legal department hosted a meeting of pro bono regional leaders at its Richmond campus and announced a seed grant to develop new software that could serve both (1) as a new case management system for resource-limited legal aid agencies in Central Virginia and (2) as a portal to connect private sector pro bono lawyers with Pro Bono Legal Aid clients. This allows “Remote Pro Bono Lawyer”. National and regional law firms and other corporate legal departments doubled Capital One`s seed capital grant, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars over the days to fund the development of a new cutting-edge software tool that became JusticeServer®. Capital One`s legal work with Street Law focuses on two initiatives: (1) the Corporate Legal Diversity Pipeline program, in which Capital One employees visit high school students in their classrooms to educate them about law and legal careers and introduce them to the tools and skills needed to prepare for college and staff; and (2) Legal Life Skills for Youth, which encourages youth in areas with high levels of youth justice participation, aging after being placed in foster care, or homelessness and helps them develop skills such as conflict resolution, decision-making, communication, analytical thinking, and advocacy.
