The Corporate Counsel Show: ‘Understand the value that you can add’
Having worked extensively across financial services and having successfully navigated an arduous royal commission into that sector, Scott Stierli knows how best to showcase one’s importance to a business.
On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by REA Group executive manager (legal) Scott Stierli to reflect on how much legal work in financial services has changed in recent years, what it was like as an in-house lawyer during the Hayne Royal Commission and what lessons emerged from that inquiry.
The pair also delve into striking the right balance between proactivity and reactivity when navigating regulatory evolutions, how best to evolve with counterparts across businesses in the new normal, and what a successful in-house lawyer in financial services will look like in the future.
