Finding your role
What does your organisation need from its in-house lawyers? And is that you?
I meet and spend time with many GC’s from both large, and not so large, organisations. It can be an enriching experience, and though I’ve had the odd crippling disappointment, I enjoy the learning I always gain. Let’s face it – these are, quite frankly, privileged interactions. Recently I had a meeting with a highly respected and well-regarded GC who leads the legal function for a major FTSE 100 company. I hadn’t spoken with them before and had been looking forward to our meeting, as they’ve been written about by others and identified as a role model for those in-house. It took an age to get access and then to finally get the meeting scheduled. To say I was filled with anticipation would be an understatement.
