Ed leads our strategic direction and sets out the company`s goals and growth plans. He is also responsible for defining the TLD culture and enjoys communicating with the team and organizing events that foster the community and company values. He founded The Legal Director in 2007 with the belief that every firm should have an in-house, experienced and experienced commercial counsel, regardless of size. He is proud of TLD`s growth and appreciates the valuable contributions TLD General Counsel make to the businesses they support. Prior to founding TLD, Ed worked as a corporate lawyer for over 20 years, helping companies of all sizes in various industries find practical solutions to legal problems. Here is an excerpt from the man himself about his motivations for creating TLD. #TheLegalDirector #BusinessLawyers #InHouseCounsel This blend of business focus, legal expertise, and hands-on approach ensures that the money you spend on legal advice is used to protect and maximize the value of your business.

In my new role, I will strive to present highly effective cases that, while focusing on discrimination based on gender identity, also recognize that transgender and non-binary people face multiple sources of oppression because of their race, class, citizenship status, and disability. By bringing an intersectional perspective to the movement`s advocates, we can represent and amplify the voices of the widest possible range of stakeholders in the transgender community. Meet James Mallender! James is co-owner and director of The Legal Director. His role is people-focused and he divides his time at TLD between recruiting and managing client relationships.

Our Customer Charter (lnkd.in/dZEYrdjR) describes our commitment to consistently providing excellent service. James works with existing clients to ensure we continue to deliver on that promise. He enjoys working with Georgie Rylance and designing a recruitment process that attracts lawyers who embody the company`s values and thrive on the team. He enjoys interviewing high-ranking lawyers and learns something from every conversation. James is uniquely positioned to champion the company`s service model, having joined TLD as General Counsel in 2012. Previously, he was a partner at Womble Bond Dickinson and was looking for a different, less traditional and values-based way of working. He became a board member two years later and is proud of what he has built at TLD. If you`re a senior corporate lawyer looking for a different way to work, you can reach out to James or Georgie on LinkedIn and explore our website to hear from other lawyers who have taken the plunge: lnkd.in/eujniqrB.
