Bell Nunnally Partner Brent A. Turman’s “What In-House Lawyers Can Learn from Gerri Kellman of HBO’s Succession” was published by Texas Lawbook.
In the piece, Turman points out that the character Gerri Kellman, general counsel of media empire Waystar Royco, offers a compelling portrayal of in-house legal work – including tackling the ethical, strategic and professional dilemmas that in-house lawyers face daily.
Turman discusses the lessons to be learned from the character through examples that include the ethics of client conflicts, the importance of balancing both business and legal considerations, and the fine line in-house counsel sometimes walk in ensuring personal interests do not color professional judgements.
Turman’s background in film and television production, as well as his business litigation know-how, are on full display in this insightful piece.
