@elonmusk 150 kids from 1 swim school in the UK swimming to space and back to raise money for a kidsโ oncology unit. From under 2 years old and up, all in under 48 hours. #anythingispossible https://t.co/YQYn3Y3IsW
We have an opportunity to address a historic regulator omission:failure to ref the role of the GC/in-house legal team in corp governance. Sign the collective response below to the @FRCnews Corp Code consultation today by emailing [email protected] -

@danaeshell And throwing in that legal services is so often a distressed purchase, but with the right services model would that hold true e.g. onboard a consumer to Valla because of a work grievance, but for future jobs, why would they not buy a contract review and onboarding checklist etc?
@danaeshell Yes, and guiding them through not just one legal system but multiple - to unlock global reach. Why would this be harder than what fintechs have done, navigating and plugging in to banking infra worldwide - equally as non-trivial an endeavour as it is in law and wildly successful
Looking forward to chairing duties at tomorrow's @EconomistEvents GC Summit + extending our perspectives + responsibility together around GC leadership with all that is happening in the world. See you there - 3.05 + 4.15pm for tech-talk + more.

Delighted to be chairing @MDR_LAB showcase event on Wed - looking forward to hearing from the presenting companies across a range of categories, checking in on hard yards of progress, and exploring the value of legal technology. Great to see some of you there. @sinc_dj for info.
Will there be a call and scramble to increase corp governance around in-house lawyering when the @PostOffInquiry completes? For in-housers and their boards/employers to get on the front foot, see @LF_Neil's article with our suggested steps and the why now https://t.co/9QioEDnd4h
@ciaranfenton @oliver_twiste There is conceivably a scenario where taking unlimited liability puts shareholders/stakeholders/dirs at risk in a way that should be notified/approved - this could put the lawyer and the bus lead in conflict - lawyer would need to be clear who is the client/stay independent
@ciaranfenton @oliver_twiste Commercial contract risk is a commercial decision - does not put the lawyer in conflict with their regulatory oblis. If the negotiations implicated a law being broken, that could trigger a reg issue for the lawyer eg bribery to win the deal.
