This episode of The Corporate Law Lab turns the tables: Dean Haider Ala Hamoudi interviews Neil Taylor, Director of the Corporate Law Center and the usual host of the podcast.

In a wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation, Neil reflects on his trajectory from litigator to international in-house counsel —and ultimately, academic leader. Along the way, he shares insights into managing legal complexity across cultures, leading high-stakes negotiations, and the real-world lessons that continue to shape his approach to legal education.

It’s a rare opportunity to hear from two legal minds exploring the evolving relationship between corporate law practice and academia.
