Listen here: Navigating BigLaw to General Counsel and Beyond with Shauna Barnes

Shauna Barnes started her legal career in BigLaw, but as an associate knew she was likely to head elsewhere. In this episode, she shares how she forged her own path, seeking out a new and unique practice group that gave her significant responsibility as a junior lawyer in the firm, and then soon after pivoting in-house as General Counsel of Dogfish Head Brewery. Later, after growing her legal team at Dogfish and being a hands-on part of the corporate leadership team, she founded her own law firm - Barnes Beverage Group - which advises a full range of beverage industry clients, from startups to multinationals.
