Podcast appearances and mentions of Mel Scott

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mel Scott is an absolute superstar. She is an award winning inhouse legal counsel, host of the wildly successful Counsel podcast and has a cult social media following via her @inhouselawyer accounts.  Nothing has been handed to Mel on a silver platter. She has had to be incredibly strategic and work bloody hard to achieve her legal career success.  In this episode she takes us behind the scenes of how she reverse engineered all of her successes, dating right back to primary school, as well as how she manages to balance her passion projects with her full time job, how she continues to break the mould of what a “good lawyer” should be, and all of her advice for others who are seeking to boldly carve out their unique place in the legal profession, just like she has.  I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you.  I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.    Your host,    Rose  You can connect with Mel on Linked In here and via Instagram and Tik Tok @theinhouselawyer.

On this episode, Mel Scott, Senior Legal Counsel (Global) at Megaport, joins Mary to talk about her career path, which started in private practice and moved quickly to her current in-house role. Mel starts by talking about her podcast: Counsel - A Podcast for In-House Lawyers. One of the reasons Mel started the podcast is to share information and stories that she wished she had access to when she was first starting out in the industry. She spent three years in private practice before taking on an in-house role, and she explains the differences between the two. In her case, she went from a buttoned-up aviation role to the rollercoaster of a tech startup. She discusses the importance of continuously future-proofing your processes in order to increase efficiency and best achieve the vision of the board and executive team. This requires managing what she calls the ‘long tail' of legal requests.

How hard exactly is it to create a podcast? The short answer is, it's actually quite easy to create one! The upfront cost of your microphone and maybe a few other items is the cheap part. What it will cost you is your time. And that's why I asked my podcast network “if there was one thing you wish you knew about podcasting before you started, what would it be?” And my podcaster friend, Mel Scott said she didn't expect the technical barrier to be that hard to jump over, but more wishing she started earlier. This is why I wanted to add her two cents on the question for you as a listener. Got a question you want me to answer, reach out to me via socials

"Our brains are like an open API and people can just put in things over time, parents, friends– all of the things that make us who we are in our history. One I got clear on the stories, then it's just a matter of batch checking that against the actual reality. This is where your lawyer brain can be so fantastic. We can interrogate ourselves and interrogate our thoughts like a witness. Is anyone actually expecting perfection? And you start to break down these stories."  In this episode, with Mel Scott, host of Counsel Podcast, and senior in-house lawyer at Megaport, we explore: The power of investing in your growth. How our belief systems are formed, and how to call BS on the stories we tell ourselves. How cultivating a limitless mindset can involve feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Advocating for yourself, and impact on output when employers invest in your professional growth.  Why having a strong personal brand is one of the smartest investments for our legal careers.  Connect with Mel Here:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theinhouselawyer/ Counsel Podcast page on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/counsel-podcast Instagram: @theinhouselawyer Clubhouse: @inhouselawyer Learn about Charlotte's upcoming Matermind:  https://www.charlotte-smith.com/mastermind/ Instagram: @limitless_lawyer  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlottesmithlawyercoach/  

Mel has worked in house across multiple industries and is a passionate advocate for what I call “doing law differently in house”. For Mel, this includes shining the light on in house lawyering as a legitimate career alternative to the single narrative we're led to believe at uni. The post High tech, no tech, and everything in between: why it matters for in house lawyers with Mel Scott (ep 85) appeared first on Lucy Dickens.

Using legal tech to scale a corporate legal department is the topic du jour in Episode 45. The guest: Mel Scott, Senior Legal Counsel for Megaport, a global technology company offering scalable point to point connectivity for public and private cloud connections. Mel is also the host of a great podcast called Counsel about in-house lawyer life. Mel talks about her journey from law firm lawyer to an in-house role. She also talks about her experience scaling Megaport's legal department not only with specific legal technology (contract management app Ironclad) but by starting with technology the company was already using. In this case, Slack and Jira (issue and project tracking software). Technically Legal is hosted by Chad Main, an attorney and the founder of Percipient, a tech-enabled alternative legal services provider.

I asked my Instagram followers to #AskMeAnything! A broad question, I know, but I received some fantastic questions. In this bonus long weekend episode, I answer: 1. Which team or department within your organisation do you work best with and why? 2. What would incentivise you to go back working in a law firm? 3. Do you have any advice on approaching firms about potential employment? 4. Do you have a masters degree and do you think it's necessary in house? That was fun! Thanks for your questions.
