Laëtitia Houdart, avocate pendant 11 ans devenue directrice juridique & compliance

In this episode of Collaborator, I interview Laetitia Houdart, who transitioned from law firm to in-house legal counsel—a career change she recounts with many valuable lessons learned. After honing her skills at Vatier LawFirm and then Clyde & Co, Laetitia decided to leave the bar and join an in-house legal department. This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of a secondment that changed everything: a different pace, a different relationship with the law, a different approach. And a sense of purpose gradually became clear. Why make the leap? What does it change on a daily basis? What does the role of in-house counsel really entail? And above all: how do you know if it's the right time to make the switch? We also discuss managing emergencies, work-life balance, skills to develop when moving to the corporate side, and the cultural differences between the two worlds. Laetitia shares all of this candidly – ​​with a great deal of perspective, practical advice, and a genuine desire to share her knowledge. This episode will resonate with anyone questioning their career path and seeking to find renewed meaning in their work. Enjoy!
