On this episode of The Callover, we speak to Mel Scott, Senior Legal Counsel at Megaport, a global technology company. Mel has worked in-house for nearly a decade, after deciding to take the leap from a top tier firm just three years post admission. 

Long before she was awarded the Queensland Law Society’s 2023 In-House Counsel of the Year Award, Mel has been a passional advocate for in-house lawyers.  You may have also seen her on Instagram and TikTok under the moniker @inhouselawyer or heard her on her podcast, Counsel.



On each platform – and in this interview – she shares insights into life as an in-house lawyer and demystifies (and destigmatises) the move in house for law students and young lawyers.
