As in-house legal departments take on a more strategic role in shaping the direction of Canadian business, Paula Pepin is working to redefine what it means to lead from the general counsel’s chair. A former GC turned executive coach, Pepin is the founder of The GC Collective – an organization that’s helping legal leaders across the country evolve from legal advisors to influential business partners. In this episode of CL Talk, Canadian Lawyer spoke with Pepin – named one of the Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers in Canada in 2024 – about the isolation many GCs face, the critical skills they’re missing, and how building a real peer community can change everything.
