In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Linktree senior vice president, office of the founders, people, and legal Rosanna Biggs to discuss the need for law department leaders to think about how they resource for their teams, whether there are things that in-house teams are doing wrong with regard to hiring, the inherent recruitment challenges, and her process for ensuring any hire for the legal team is fit for the business’s purposes.

 
 

Biggs also delves into the critical importance of attributes rather than one’s skills, the team leader’s role in approaching department growth with the C-suite, how to convey the way you run the legal function, how individual lawyers can put their best foot forward, why curiosity is so essential, how in-house roles are changing, and how businesses can better identify and recruit the best in-house lawyers possible.
