July 04, 2024 Heriot Brown Season 6 Episode 9

Buckle up for another episode of Lessons I Learned in Law! 

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Alison Malin Zoellner, the Group General Counsel over at Dentsu Group, on of the largest global advertising firms. 

Alison's career path is nothing short of impressive. 

She started out at Sullivan & Cromwell, then transitioned to in-house roles at The New York Times and Honeywell. It's a testament to the kind of adaptability and reinvention that's key to thriving in today's legal landscape. Throughout the episode, she shares some seriously valuable lessons and the importance of staying connected within the legal field, the responsibility of being a company's ethical compass. 

We also spend some time discussing how young lawyers can leverage emerging technologies like AI to future-proof their careers. 

Alison also opens up about her personal journey, how she balances those professional ambitions with family life and encourages her team to do the same. 

Plus, we explore that crucial partnership between the General Counsels and CEOs – to foster ethical business growth. 

So, whether you're interested in the law, business, technology, or just getting some practical advice from someone who's been there and done that, this episode is for you.
