    58. Going in Different Directions Is Not Failure with Nick Brown
    2026/06/10
    Nick Brown is the General Counsel of Airtree Ventures, one of Australia's most prominent venture capital firms, and the first lawyer to set up a legal function inside two separate businesses. He spent 15 years as an M&A lawyer before making the move in-house, and this conversation covers the full arc of how that shift actually happened and what it taught him. We get into the psychology of leaving private practice when you have been told partnership is the only acceptable destination, what the first 90 days looks like when you are building a legal function from scratch, why plain English is a mark of sophistication not simplicity, how AI is reshaping what he does without replacing what matters, and why the lawyers who struggle most in venture capital deals are the ones who bring the wrong energy to the table. You will leave this conversation with a more honest picture of how legal careers actually unfold and a clearer sense of what it means to add value as a lawyer when the people around you do not care about the law itself. ~ Download the New to In-House Survival Guide: https://www.counselpodcast.com/store/p/newtoinhouse (use code BigSisEnergy for a special discount) All of Mel's Big Sis Briefings can be found here: https://www.counselpodcast.com/big-sis-briefings Connect with Mel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melstorey Counsel Podcast Page on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/67479008/admin/feed/posts/ Instagram & TikTok: @careerbigsis Subscribe to the Counsel Podcast so you don't miss upcoming conversations with leaders who are redefining what it means to be an in house lawyer today!

    57. You Didn't Read the Document with Eric Ries
    2026/05/27
    Eric Ries changed how a generation of founders think about building companies. Now, with his new book Incorruptible, he is making the case that teaching people how to build something great was only half the job, and the other half, how to protect what they built from the governance structures designed around it, is the part almost everyone skips. This conversation covers why good companies go bad by design rather than by accident, why shareholder primacy has no democratic legitimacy and is already in intellectual collapse, and what it actually means for lawyers and in-house counsel to be in the room when these structures are being built. Eric tells the Vectura story in full, and it is the kind of story that changes how you read a corporate charter. You will leave this episode with a clearer framework for what governance is actually doing, what financial gravity is doing to organisations you may be advising or working inside, and why mission primacy is not an idealistic alternative but a structurally coherent one. ~ Download the New to In-House Survival Guide: https://www.counselpodcast.com/store/p/newtoinhouse (use code BigSisEnergy for a special discount) All of Mel's Big Sis Briefings can be found here: https://www.counselpodcast.com/big-sis-briefings Connect with Mel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melstorey Counsel Podcast Page on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/67479008/admin/feed/posts/ Instagram & TikTok: @careerbigsis Subscribe to the Counsel Podcast so you don't miss upcoming conversations with leaders who are redefining what it means to be an in house lawyer today!

    56. I Called My Boss and Asked to Be Included in the Layoff with Laura Frederick
    2026/05/13
    Laura Frederick spent her entire career doing one thing: commercial contracts. From propane agreements to uranium trading to deals at Tesla, she said no to every GC role that would have taken her away from the work she loved, and built one of the most recognisable voices in the global contracts community along the way. This conversation covers the moment she called her boss and asked to be included in a layoff, what it actually felt like to build a solo practice as a single parent of four with eight months of savings and no plan B, and how three and a half years of daily LinkedIn posting taught her things about community, confidence and legacy that she could not have learned any other way. Laura is direct, genuinely funny, and has real opinions about what separates great contracts lawyers from good ones, why AI for contracting is overrated, and what freedom actually looks like when you stop waiting for someone to hand it to you. ~ Download the New to In-House Survival Guide: https://www.counselpodcast.com/store/p/newtoinhouse (use code BigSisEnergy for a special discount) All of Mel's Big Sis Briefings can be found here: https://www.counselpodcast.com/big-sis-briefings Connect with Mel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melstorey Counsel Podcast Page on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/67479008/admin/feed/posts/ Instagram & TikTok: @careerbigsis Subscribe to the Counsel Podcast so you don't miss upcoming conversations with leaders who are redefining what it means to be an in house lawyer today!
