Kate Sherburn was the first in-house lawyer for her business, Who Gives A Crap. If this wasn’t challenging enough, she had to contend with the product the business sells – toilet paper – becoming the world’s hottest commodity during the pandemic.
On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Who Gives A Crap legal beagle Kate Sherburn about the challenges of establishing the legal presence within a business and the critical steps to take in doing so, and how it met the surge in demand for toilet paper in the wake of COVID-19.
The pair also discuss how best corporate counsel can showcase value in such extraordinary times, how to realise and live out one’s niche professional interests, lessons learned over the past year and advice Ms Sherburn would offer to those coming through the ranks about finding one’s feet vocationally in-house.
