1- In one sentence: For you, what does it mean to be an in-house lawyer?
An opportunity to iteratively improve the risk readiness of a business, freed from the twin tyrannies of six-minute increments and the standardised grey suit/black shoes combo.
2- Describe the role & responsibilities of a general counsel in:
(i) Your industry:
(ii) Your jurisdiction/region:
Based on recent discussions with peers, one of the few things that GCs in our region have in common is the diversity of our roles and the responsibilities we hold.
For example, I'm head of strategy at Flash, and I've previously held responsibility for the HR and IT departments. I know a GC in the leisure and sports space who has overall responsibility for commercial partnerships within the business he advises.
