Listen Later

Amid a time of voluminous market and professional change, corporate counsel will require a particular set of skills and traits, including, but not limited to, adaptability, curiosity, and vulnerability.

In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with fractional general counsel, board member, and keynote speaker Ivana Kovacevic and RMIT general counsel Alison Huitfeldt about what they love about in-house legal life, the biggest takeaways for corporate lawyers in the last 12 months, and the difficulties inherent with having so much on the shoulders of the law department.

Kovacevic and Huitfeldt also delve into the biggest challenges and trends facing in-house lawyers as we come into the new year, leaning into people skills, the need for curiosity, adaptability, and vulnerability moving forward, best practice guidance for corporate lawyers in the new year, and what excites them both about the experience of in-house counsel moving forward.
