The first 100 days as a GC
What are the key priorities and challenges in the first 100 days of being a GC? This was the main discussion point of a recent panel debate before an audience of more than 50 senior in-house lawyers gathered at the South Place Hotel in London.
Introducing the results, DAC Beachcroft partner Rachel Cropper Mawer pointed out that 24% of respondents said that the key piece of advice they were given was around understanding the responsibility of being a business leader – more than just a lawyer – taking responsibility for the business and getting the board’s buy-in to your role.
