What is Practical Counsel?

The most common issues to keep General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers awake at night are their people issues. Do I have the ear of the Board and my key business partners? Am I seen as a trusted adviser? How do I influence my CFO to get the budget I need to do my role properly?

Aspiring in house lawyers similarly need to develop their people issues to be best placed to climb the ladder.

Practical Counsel is a weekly e-letter providing solutions to the people issues that keep in house lawyers awake at night. Responding to direct problems mailed in from the in house community, a highly experienced consultant to in house, Jonathan Middleburgh, provides solutions to those problems. And each week a GC or CLO provides his or her take on the problem that has been raised.

Email Jonathan with your issues at jonathan@middleburghassociates.com or via practicalcounsel@substack.com
