Something has shifted in Indian business. The in-house counsel, once a go-between, now sits at the table where decisions are made: advising boards, shaping strategy, steering companies through complexity and change. A role lawyers once drifted into is now one they compete for. In-House Matters is the story of how the role changed, and an account of what it looks like in its fullest form. Drawing on decades of experience and in-depth interviews with thirty of India's leading General Counsel, Pramod Rao, Ritvik Lukose, and Balanand Menon map the full sweep of the modern in-house role: the first hundred days, building and leading teams, budgets and technology, crises and credibility. Told through frameworks, case studies, and war stories, this is the view from inside the room. Part handbook, part manifesto, In-House Matters is the essential guide to a profession coming into its own.
