Former General Counsel of Apple Interviewed by Columbia Law Student, Doreen Benyamin

Hi! My name is Doreen Benyamin and I am a rising third year student at Columbia Law School. In this video, I interview Bruce Sewell, who shares insights into a career path ranging from biglaw litigation partner to the former general counsel of two multinational technology companies — Intel and Apple. Recently retired, Bruce reflects back on the insights and lessons learned throughout his career.

Topics covered include:
‣ what the day-to-day looks like when you are managing a 900-person legal team and a legal budget just shy of $1 billion,
‣ how he made his transition from biglaw to General Counsel, and
‣ how litigation versus corporate backgrounds compare in preparing for a General Counsel position.
