Agile Lawyering

April 2020ManagementRetail

Abstract

Having been lucky enough to work for a high growth tech company for over 15 years and latterly part of a network of General Counsel of similar ilk, there are in my view a number of attributes that seem to be in common for GC’s and legal teams within disruptive tech companies - although not exclusively as likely they apply to many other sectors too – and certainly what most businesses now expect of a legal team. I’ve tried to capture below some of those themes, though I’ve no doubt there will be more and different ones by industry and by company, so they are by their nature my view only.
