Description
<p>This week on Studying Law Around the World, I had the pleasure of welcoming back Lara Merjane. Lara is a corporate and M&A lawyer with a truly global footprint, currently serving as in-house counsel in Colorado. She is uniquely admitted to practice in Colorado, California, Ontario, and Brazil.</p><p>Lara's career is a masterclass in strategic transitions. She moved from a robust labor litigation practice in Brazil to commercial contract management in Canada, ultimately passing the California bar and securing an in-house role in the US. In this episode, we discuss how to translate legal risk into business growth, the cultural dynamics of cross-border deals, and the exact habits that will make a junior lawyer indispensable.</p>
