The Evolution Of Corporate Law Practice And The Modern GC With Noah Popp

The role of the modern GC has evolved from being a technical gatekeeper to a strategic business partner who must balance the "speed of light" provided by technology with the "speed of right" required for sound judgment. Noah Popp, Executive Vice President and General Counsel at Enerpac Tool Group, joins the show to trace the transformation of corporate practice—from the era of hand-carried SEC filings and physical corporate seals to the current age of AI-assisted due diligence and global compliance. Noah shares candid insights into navigating the 2008 financial crisis, the shift toward "mile-wide" generalist expertise, and why a GC’s value is actually enhanced, not diminished, by the rise of ChatGPT and data-driven decision-making. This conversation is essential listening for aspiring legal leaders looking to build the pragmatism and global perspective necessary to lead in an increasingly fractured and automated world.Love the show?
