In this episode I speak to Jonathan Hughes who has previously been a partner in two US law firms and, most notably, was the first ever Global General Counsel at Barclays Investment Bank (previously Barclays Capital). Jonathan compares the two different positions of leadership and breaks down the role of General Counsel in detail, as well as offering advice on how to thrive as an in-house lawyer and how to know if that path is the right one for you.
