What do you think sets you apart from other in-house counsel?
For real estate Investment managers in Luxembourg, I think the exposure to front office activities (RE transactions, capital raising activities) certainly sets us apart.
What do you think are the most important attributes for a modern in-house counsel to possess?
Some modern attributes everyone should possess are transversality and agility.
Based on your experiences in the past year, are there any trends in the legal or business world that you are keeping an eye on that you think other in-house lawyers should be mindful of?
I think a sentiment among businesspeople is that AI can replace the role of an in-house lawyer whereas all lawyers know that AI cannot replace us.
