Having to perform multiple roles on a regular basis can be more than a little overwhelming for in-house counsel. At times, it can also blur the ethical and legal edges and impact upon important issues like privilege. Sascha Hindmarch, former General Counsel at the University of South Australia takes us behind the key-hole for a look at some of the dilemmas encountered by in-house counsel.
Muhammad Tariq, Senior Legal Counsel at TECOM Investments shares with us his experience working in-house after closing the chapter on his days as an M&A private practitioner at Al Tamimi & Company. Leaving his former position somewhat reluctantly at first, he is now comfortably juggling the many roles the in-house move has demanded of him and offers up his advice for managing the position with efficiency, humility and decorum.
