In this episode, two veterans of the games industry join us for a chat: TOBIAS SCHELINSKI (Partner at Taylor Wessing in Hamburg, 🇩🇪 Germany) and JAN-PETER EWERT (Business Development / Legal at Valve in Hamburg, 🇩🇪 Germany). Here's what we spoke about –
• how do global games companies go about hiring local law firms for specific matters?
• why would a law firm fire a client?
• what makes a good in-house counsel?
• is there a way to gauge the performance of an in-house counsel?
• similarities between dealing with pandemic risks and dealing with legal risks
• should lawyers address ‘average expected’ risks, or ‘extreme among expected'?
• a few practical words of advice to people working in the games industry
• having “skin in the game” for in-house lawyers, and being able to convince colleagues
• why does it matter, when your lawyer actually understands and enjoys video games?
