In-House Counsel at High Growth Companies

In-house legal roles at high growth technology companies are coveted for a reason. They offer lawyers endless opportunities in a dynamic and exciting environment, often with a front row seat to all facets of the company's growth. However, these environments can be challenging and often confront lawyers with issues not taught in law schools or law firms, like hyper-scaling a legal team, being the first and only lawyer, navigating an engineering culture, figuring out risk tolerance, and learning to influence a founder-led business. In this course, students will get an in-depth view of these challenges, with a focus on leadership, scaling, practical skills, strategic thinking, and stakeholder management.
