An enviable General Counsel position
July 22, 2015
Some people love practising law but find corporate life can be stuffy. Those in such such situations will be envious of Derek Holland at Chicago based Red Frog whose working life sounds such fun. British lawyer, Ben Challis, who was at school with me, is the GC of the Glastonbury Festival and loves every minute of it, as you might expect! It’d be great to hear of other in-house lawyers in unique and special roles.
…there are thousands of general counsel in companies large and small. But there is only one Juggler of Justice. That’s the title held by Derek Holland, 38. He’s also the vice president and general counsel of Red Frog Events, but he only uses that stuffier designation when dealing with government regulators. When he’s having a meeting in a camper-themed conference room or playing foosball against co-workers, he’s known by the more alliterative moniker. All of the Red Frog employees have similar wacky titles—such as “King of Ka-Ching” and “Lord of the Files”—a clear indicator that this is not your normal startup
