Tag: Startup General Counsel

I filed a claim against a large company for not paying for the custom work my client had completed for them. Although there isn’t a one-size-fits-all description for this position, the General Counsel of a GCC company can expect to wear multiple hats as the owners of the company can tend to hold a very diversified investment portfolio.

I quickly realized two things: First, I needed to speak to some experienced general counsel to get their advice on building a legal department from scratch. Second, given the breadth of my responsibilities, I would need to streamline our legal operations so that contracting was never the bottleneck in our sales and business development efforts.
