Adam Greenberg is a former attorney from Skadden Arps who left big law to join Warby Parker as their second legal hire, later joined health platform Ro as their General Counsel, and most recently joining Tiger-backed Blank Street as General Counsel. He’s helped startups scale legal teams from a team of 1, working primarily with outside counsel, to full legal teams supporting all aspects of the business.

During our conversation Adam shares his experience growing the legal functions at three high-growth startups and the legal framework that supported all aspects of the business. He shares stories from his time lobbying and working with politicians, his view on how legal can be set up to support teams across a company, how to turn legal into an offensive asset for company growth, and much more.
