About Workplace Strategies For Technology Lawyers: 36
Product Description Do you want to stand out as a successful in-house counsel at a technology company? They don’t teach you this in law school. Or at law firms. You may be a solid substantive lawyer who can write a polished memo, but working in house, especially at a tech company, requires an entirely different skill set. Thankfully, the skills of a top-notch in-house tech lawyer are teachable. But no one teaches them to you. You’re supposed to jump into an in-house job working with the latest technology at a fast pace and… make mistakes? Hope you have a boss that lays it out and lets you ask embarrassing questions? Not anymore. I’ve been there, I’ve taken notes along the way on what works, and I’ve shared my insights with others. Now, I’d like to share them with you, too. Workplace Strategies for Technology Lawyersteaches you what you need to know to get ahead.
