The last few decades have seen an explosion in new technologies, new products, and new laws and regulations. At the intersection of all of this sits a new type of lawyer – the product counsel – to help businesses create successful, user-delighting products while managing legal risks. Product Counsel: Advise, Innovate and Inspire by Adrienne Go and Olga V. Mack provides a thorough overview of this new legal specialty, suitable for both newcomers interested in understanding its scope and more experienced practitioners looking for a detailed framework about how to best practice the discipline. In clear, punchy prose the authors explain not just what product counseling is, but how best to achieve excellence in its practice. Highly recommended.
