The Corporate Counsel Show: ACC chair Mike Madden on elevating the GC role

Newly elected ACC global board chair Mike Madden – just the second Australian to hold the role – speaks with Lawyers Weekly about how the role of general counsel is evolving and his hopes for in-house professionals more broadly.

On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Hyne Timber head of group legal, compliance, commercial and procurement Mike Madden, who was recently elected global board chair for the Association of Corporate Counsel, to discuss his journey in the legal profession, how and why it was important to him to get involved in the in-house member association and what he hopes to achieve as chair.

The pair also talk about what Mr Madden envisions for the future of in-house lawyers, how he sees their roles evolving as we enter the post-pandemic market, the challenges he foresees for such professionals, as well as the opportunities for them to grasp in the new normal.
