Bianca Lau, who runs an award-winning law
department at Youi Insurance, argues that we are currently living
through a new era for corporate legal professionals — one in which
in-house teams have greater scope and opportunity to make their
mark.
On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome
Doraisamy speaks with Youi Insurance head of legal Bianca Lau about
navigating the necessary adaptations to management of law
departments in recent years, remaining true to the vision one has
of the team that one leads, the current state of affairs in the
insurance sector and how to perceive its challenges, and
anticipating what might be coming for the sector.
Ms Lau also details how best to balance what’s on the horizon for
in-house counsel and future considerations for the sector one works
in, managing competing priorities, bringing one’s team along for
the journey, what makes a good in-house counsel and leader right
now, getting buy-in across the business, grasping the myriad
opportunities to redefine the law department and why we’re entering
a new era.
