In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, Scott Brown speaks to Lara Oyesanya, Chief legal Officer, Group General Counsel and Company Secretary at Zepz which is a leading provider of cross-border payments and remittance services through its two brands, WorldRemit and Sendwave. Lara shares the three lessons she has learned in law including: ·      Don’t be intimidated by the status of others or allow yourself to be overwhelmed by anything they try to say to you. Remain calm and fully focussed on your brief. ·      Be curious. You are always learning and your career will provide you with many opportunities to try something new.  ·      Seize all opportunities – you never know where they may lead! Lara discusses her work on the privatisation of British Rail; a project which saw the privatisation of 93 separate businesses and the formation of Train Operating companies. She explains how her curiosity exposed her to a range of legal concepts and different ways of doing things.   Lara also reveals how she became an independent non-executive director, and what the role involves.    Presented by Scott Brown of Heriot Brown Legal Recruitment.  Follow Heriot Brown: Twitter | LinkedIn |  Facebook | Instagram This episode of Lessons I Learned in Law is brought to you by Beamery.
