In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, Scott Brown speaks to Maryam Ziarati McLoughlin, General Counsel at Paddle. She joined the team in 2019 and since then has led the business through two funding rounds, grown the legal team, put in place a training contract scheme and lead the people and talent function & DE&I.

Maryam shares the three lessons she has learned in law including:

·      Lead with empathy and assume nothing. 

·      Value personal relationships and enjoy getting to know people on a personal level. 

·      Fortune favours the bold. Be prepared to take risks.

Maryam reveals that through law school she hadn’t wanted to be a lawyer as she hadn’t seen a side of law that appealed to her. That was until she was doing work experience and discovered the creativity inherent to problem solving and the potential flexibility of the legal system.
