Drawing on his over 20 years of experience as an in-house counsel and five years as an “outsourced” GC, John Hornbostel speaks with GRIP’s US editor Catherine Ollinger to share his critical insights and lessons for creating organizational structures and cultures that enable compliance from the get-go.
He also talks growing businesses while helping them enter into new specialties or jurisdictions, while speaking to his work at AIG, K2 Advisors, and Franklin Templeton.
In this podcast, we discuss the following points:
- the differences and benefits firms can expect when using an embedded legal partner as opposed to an outside, billable counsel;
- managing the transition from venture capital into broader private fund or registered fund models;
- working with management and boards to navigate reputational risk and foster a culture of highest integrity;
- navigating and synthesizing global compliance requirements across jurisdictions;
- understanding the cultural or operational compliance shocks international firms face when adapting to the US environment;
- the compliance shift toward behavioral economics, and how to integrate behavioral insights into a practice to pull legal into the room early;
- and more!
