In this episode, I sit down with Natasha Bowman, General Counsel of NeilMed Pharmaceuticals to talk through her transition from litigation to leading the legal function of a family-owned business.

We discuss: building legal systems from scratch; navigating the realities of being the sole in-house counsel; how AI is actually being used in day to day legal work; practical advice for networking and career growth; and unique considerations when supporting a family-owned business

Her perspective as a sole GC in a family-owned business is especially insightful.

In this episode, Valissa Turner Howard, Chief People Officer & General Counsel at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and I talk about:

• Building a nontraditional path from law school to executive leadership

• Lessons from the Inspector General’s office that still shape her decisions today

• What it really looks like to lead both legal and HR

• Using your legal career as a vehicle for community impact

One of my favorite takeaways: “Think intentionally about impact—not just title”

In this episode, Kristen Nelson, General Counsel at Chase Properties, joins me on In-House Counsel Chronicles to share her path from private practice to leading the legal function in a real estate organization.

We talk about what it really means to be in-house:
• Being part of the business, not just advising it
• Building a team that fits your culture
• Navigating change and growth

One of my favorite takeaways: “Be patient and always bet on yourself.”

If you're in-house or thinking about the move, this one is worth a listen.
