Choose the right perspective
Match the person to the legal area behind your question, since corporate governance, global litigation, business group legal support and country or regional markets each involve different work. Regional and country general counsel suit questions about running legal in one market, while global roles suit questions about work that spans the company.
Questions to take into the conversation
