Practical Law In-house Counsel File: Austin So, Heraeus Incorporated

Congratulations to Austin So, Co-Chair of AABANY’s In-House Counsel Committee and NAPABA Northeast Regional Governor, on being profiled in the September 2015 Practical Law Journal.  

The article highlights Austin’s current work as a Division General Counsel at Heraeus Incorporated, a global manufacturing company. Click on the link in the title to read insights from Austin, such as:

What one piece of advice would you give to a prospective in-house counsel? Working at a company is much more political, in much more complicated ways, than working at a firm. That is often the biggest challenge for an attorney transitioning in-house. Network internally, find a mentor and learn the politics.

If not an attorney, what would you wish to be? I would like to be a UFC fighter.
