Manage episode 344703640 series 3394105
In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law Scott Brown speaks Martin Nolan. As General Counsel at Skyscanner, Martin is responsible for Skyscanner’s Legal and Public & Regulatory Affairs teams and also acts as Company Secretary to Skyscanner’s group companies. Prior to moving in-house, Martin spent ten years working as a corporate lawyer in private practice, specialising in corporate finance, M&A and Private Equity.
Martin reveals some of the lessons he learned in law including:
· Be your authentic self. Trying to be someone else at work will be exhausting!
· Take your blinkers off. Your legal skills are extremely transferrable so don’t look exclusively at what you’re doing now to inform your next career choices.
· Fail fast, fail forward. If you don’t ever make mistakes, you’re playing it too safe!
Martin is two years in to a mammoth home renovation project. Hear how that’s progressing!
