Readers of  Corporate Counsel do not need to be legal professionals to enjoy this short book writen as a business fable.

Anna is leaving a prestigious law firm to become the first in-house lawyer at a regional real estate firm in the Midwest. The book includes drama, conflict, and a grey beard, Anna's guide throughout the story.

Our guest is the author, Peter Carayiannis, and some of the topics we address include:

  • Anna's first 100 days
  • The wrong reason to hire an in-house lawyer
  • The concept of budgets and #LegalOps
  • The Big 3 of risk mitigation
  • Definitions for ASLP and MLS
  • The moral authority in a business
  • A full-scope legal review of all corporate documents
