Emerging Roles in Legal - Episode #1

Amy Monaghan, Senior Practice Innovations Manager, Perkins Coie, had the great honor of speaking with Jason Barnwell, Assistant General Counsel—Modern Legal at Microsoft for this inaugural episode of the Emerging Roles in Legal podcast series. Jason never fails to provide thought-provoking insights and my personal favorite quote from this episode is that "business presents a candy store of broken things!" Of course, we see the broken things as opportunities for innovation, which is where these new skillsets and emerging roles in legal are needed.
If you're interested in hearing more from Jason, check out the Business of Law Podcast and also his posts on Legal Evolution (I recommend this post on designing knowledge work).
