If you work in a global business and opportunities arise to relocate abroad, leaning in can make you a much more rounded corporate lawyer, says one award-winning in-house lawyer. In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Modaxo Traffic Management group legal counsel Emilie Franklin to discuss the work of the business and how a recent acquisition gave rise to an opportunity to relocate to Toronto, how she and her family came to emigrate and the personal and professional thought processes undertaken in doing so, and how she navigated the period of transition.

Franklin also delves into the cultural differences one must adapt to when living and practising in another jurisdiction, her evolving views on what it means to be a good corporate lawyer, lessons she's learnt since relocating, why other corporate lawyers should explore relocation opportunities if their businesses allow for it, and what excites her about her continued development while living and working in Canada.
