It is crucial, award-winning legal counsel Christopher Doherty
believes, for in-house lawyers to be motivated about the business
they are working for. Having such purpose, being curious and
employing the right approach to boot will spur counsel to
success.
On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome
Doraisamy speaks with Virgin Australia senior legal counsel
Christopher Doherty about his experience of working in-house in
diverse sectors, why in-house life is so motivating for him, and
striking the right balance between being the generalist that a
business needs versus developing expertise in particular areas.
Mr Doherty also discusses his perspective on the “T-shaped
professional” and why such an approach is so critical for in-house
lawyers, having such an approach be transferrable across sectors,
why he is so interested in the aviation industry, the headline
challenges he is seeing in this space right now, believing in the
business one works for, and the all-important need for
curiosity.
