Having spent years in senior in-house
roles, Sarah Galbally and Shannon Landers are at a point where they
want to utilise their expertise to service clients in ways that
make personal and vocational sense to them.
On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome
Doraisamy welcomes Neon Legal directors Sarah Galbally and Shannon
Landers to discuss what it means to be a freelance general counsel,
why such a pathway was appealing to them respectively, the kind of
work that their boutique firm handles and why, running an
outsourced in-house model and creating a hybrid between private
practice and in-house styles.
Ms Galbally and Ms Landers also discuss how to look after one’s
self while marketing services in the ways they want to, what
they’ve learned about themselves as legal practitioners that they
wouldn’t have known had they not chosen their new vocational
pathway, why they think other in-house lawyers can and should
consider freelancing as a GC as a viable career, and what boxes
might need to be ticked to ensure success on that path.
