1. While I am not one for accolades and awards (I’d rather just get the win/accomplish the goal and enjoy the process along the way), thank you to those that nominated and supported me to be recognized as a Rising Star in this year’s Super Lawyers List. You are too kind and thoughtful, and I appreciate your words and actions. this includes you Ken Nim. I am looking forward to continuing to build and help others accomplish their goals. 2. I spend a lot of time reflecting on the legal industry and its role in business and with people. Whether you are a solo practitioner, boutique law firm, medium sized law firm, big law, or in-house, we all can contribute in meaningful, different ways to businesses and the people who help them. Accordingly, I ask you: what are some of the top traits that you like in an attorney? Conversely, what are some of the top traits that you dislike in an attorney? Happy Fourth!!!

Having learned last week that around 10,000 documents were not disclosed by legal departments that had a legal professional duty to do so in the Post Office scandal, it seems all the more poignant to have listened to some lesser-known insights that were eloquently shared by Kathleen Donnelly KC, who was part of the claimants’ legal team in civil action against the Post Office, yesterday at the Eagles GC Symposium. The galling fact remains that the legal departments of both Fujitsu and the Post Office, including external legal advisors, have yet to be held to account; nevermind, addressing a clear indication of the endemic and pernicious corporate culture that fostered such an avoidable scandal to occur. Her talk makes clear that scapegoating the few names we now know mainly from Netflix (let’s face it as the case was decided December 2019) hardly scratch the surface of those responsible. Lawyers are held to a higher ethical standard for good reason as gatekeepers of the rule of law and administration of justice. It is clear there is more to be done in making sure in-house counsel and external legal advisors who assist and indeed perpetrate corporate misdeeds and abuse of the legal system are held to account. Where are the lawyers who prosecuted so many of these sub-postmasters based on flimsy or nonexistent evidence and instructed/used intimidation tactics to obtain pleas? Why wasn’t the sudden increase in actions against sub-postmasters noticed as suspect? (Or was it?) Where are the lawyers now that prepared those bundles to instruct counsel in those matters? Have any been challenged or faced consequences? Not only lessons need to be learned here but further professional and legal reprimand is needed for justice in this matter to be properly metered. We need to do better and clearly Lesley Wan and all those involved with pulling off a fabulous senior in-house counsel Eagle event are doing to their part to help achieve that change. Thank you! #theeagleclub #generalcounsel #inhouse #knowledgesharing #inspirationalleadership #legaleagles #ruleoflaw #postofficescandal #justice
