This week we chat with KOSTYA LOBOV (Senior Associate at Harbottle & Lewis in London, 🇬🇧 UK) and JESSICA BOURNE (Legal Counsel at Ninja Theory in Cambridge, 🇬🇧 UK). • in-house counsel as “the GP of the studio” • why would you want to work at a law firm? • why would you want to work in-house? • how exactly does it help if you, as a lawyer, enjoy playing video games • the benefits of working at an independent law firm • the benefits of working within a “family” of studios supported by a global legal team • international litigation as a jigsaw puzzle • are UK lawyers being too conservative about suing people when given a chance?
