WIN Keynote panel: Navigating your legal career in-house

On November 15, our client Shana Hook (General Counsel, Moon Active) participated in a webinar for DLA Piper’s WIN - What In-house lawyers Need - program. Moderated by Natalie Salunke (General Counsel, Zilch), and also featuring panelists Bianca Xerri (Legal Governance and Compliance Manager & Privacy Officer, Thales) and Colinda Brits (Head of Professional Claims, Office of the General Counsel, DLA Piper), the webinar focused on commercial and personal aspects of working as an in-house lawyer.

Topics of conversation included:

• Adapting to roles in different geographies
• Transitioning to leadership
• Growing within the in-house role

Shana’s top tip for those moving from law firms to in-house roles: Listen for a long time before you start speaking! It’s crucial to learn the organization and understand its pain points, and only then take outside knowledge and integrate it into the culture and mission of the company. WIN is DLA Piper’s award-winning series of events, tools, and forums addressing the technical, commercial, and personal aspects of working in-house.
