In this episode, Matt Campobasso, General Counsel at Enfusion, speaks about what makes an effective lawyer.

Matt, who has a psychology degree, started out his career in law as a state prosecutor, then as a litigator, before moving in-house. He believes that understanding human behaviour is a "superpower" for lawyers that enables them to serve clients effectively and predict how they will act in the future.
