On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with NRL legal counsel Charlotte Olsen about the range of roles she had in law, thus far and how such different vocational opportunities have served her, what her day-to-day looks like working for the National Rugby League, overcoming the proactive and reactive challenges in that role, and combining her passions for law and sport.

 
 

Ms Olsen also outlines how best junior legal counsel can put their hands up to better support across all business functions, determining the best modes of communication in a post-pandemic landscape; how those coming through the ranks can unpack and work through the myriad issues they’ll face so as to better develop and thus contribute to a business; how best senior corporate counsel can aid that development; and what a junior counsel have to look forward to in 2023.
