It has been a fun month or so for me because I had the true pleasure of appearing on two of the best podcasts for in-house lawyers. The first is “The Legal Department” hosted by Stacy Bratcher, CLO at Cottage Health. The second is the “Legal Leaders” podcast hosted by David Lancelot, CLO at LawVu. Stacy and I chatted in depth about productivity for in-house lawyers, including slaying the email monster and escaping meeting hell (as well as my go-to pump-me-up song). David and I spoke about a variety of topics about practicing in-house, including technology and the keys to being an effective in-house lawyer (and if you listen closely you can hear my dog snoring blissfully in the background). Both hosts asked outstanding questions and made it very easy for me to engage with them (and covering up my blathering). So, grab some coffee and Oreos and give them a listen. I think you will find a lot to like in both podcasts – mostly from the hosts.
Here are links to each episode (and be sure to subscribe and listen to all the episodes of each podcast – they are all terrific, shining a light on some really innovative and creative legal thought-leaders and doers):
And while you are here on the blog site, check out my latest “Ten Things” post on solving problems as an in-house lawyer (it’s different). We have started year 11 of the blog and so many great topics still to cover, so stick round!
Finally, don’t forget my newest book, “The Productive In-House Lawyer: Tips, Hacks, and the Art of Getting Things Done,” is available for purchase now!

My new book (number six), The Productive In-House Lawyer: Tips, Hacks, and the Art of Getting Things Done, is now available for sale! The Washington Post Book Review said, “This is the newest threat to democracy. Burn all copies!” Not sure where they were going with that but no press is bad press, right? You can buy your copy (and a copy for all your friends, co-workers, siblings, and hobo drifters who cross your path) here: Buy The Book!
My fifth book, Showing the Value of the Legal Department: More Than Just a Cost Center is available as well, including as an eBook! You can buy a copy HERE.
Two more of my books, Ten Things You Need to Know as In-House Counsel – Practical Advice and Successful Strategies and Ten (More) Things You Need to Know as In-House Counsel – Practical Advice and Successful Strategies Volume 2, are on sale now at the ABA website (including as e-books).
I have published two other books: The Evolution of Professional Football, and The Slow-Cooker Savant. I am also available for speaking engagements, webinars/CLEs, coaching, training, and consulting.
Connect with me on Twitter @10ThingsLegal and on LinkedIn where I frequently post articles and stories of interest to in-house counsel.
“Ten Things” is not legal advice nor legal opinion and represents my views only. It is intended to provide practical tips and references to the busy in-house practitioner and other readers.
