On Episode 53 of Personal Jurisdiction, we chat with Andrew Herrington-Gilmore, Associate General Counsel of the Chicago Bulls. Andrew discusses why he decided to pursue transactional work, what an M&A deal actually looks like, the most important things an associate can do on a deal team, and why "becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable" is such a valuable skill. He shares how working at a large law firm provided him with foundational skills for moving in-house, the tools that helped him get to his dream job at the Chicago Bulls, and what the day-to-day looks like for a transactional lawyer in the sports world. Andrew also discusses his family life and why he founded the Gilmore Family Foundation, an organization to help support children with rare diseases. This episode is packed with advice for law students, young lawyers, partners, and in-house counsel--there is something for everyone!
