What does it really take to go from solo legal counsel to Head of Legal at a fast-growing B Corp? In this episode of Legal Lightbulbs, we chat with Kate Sherburn, Head Legal Beagle at Who Gives a Crap, about building confidence, leading with purpose, and scaling a legal function with strategy and values. Kate shares the lessons she’s learned from private practice to in-house, how she used tech and contract simplification to scale legal impact (not headcount), and why emotional intelligence is the superpower lawyers need most in the age of AI. You'll hear how her small team handles legal ops, budget requests, contract design, and stakeholder education… all while staying aligned with the company’s bold sustainability mission.
