“It's absolutely vital that the legal team is connected to the business. You’re really supposed to be rowing in the same direction as the business, which means that your goals are inextricably wound up in the success of the company.”
“You can’t advise in a vacuum. You need to understand the motives of the business, the priorities of the business, the context in which people are asking questions, and, sometimes, the background of the person asking the questions. You need to be connected and know what’s happening so you can give the best possible advice, and get the best possible outcome.”
