Benjamin White on building an in-house legal community at Crafty Counsel

In this episode of The Legal Leaders Podcast, host David Lancelot talks with Benjamin White, Founder of Crafty Counsel, about building one of the world’s most influential in-house legal communities, creating meaningful connections for legal professionals, and why the future of legal leadership depends on trust, vulnerability, and shared learning.

They discuss:

• How Crafty Counsel grew from solving the isolation of in-house lawyers into a global community
• Why memorable events are built around human stories, not just legal topics
• The leadership lessons every in-house lawyer can take from the UK Post Office scandal and the importance of speaking up when something isn’t right

Tune in for an unfiltered conversation on community, modern legal leadership, and creating meaningful experiences that help in-house lawyers thrive.
