About This Podcast

Overworked, under-resourced, juggling complex legal challenges? If this sounds familiar, Beyond The Fine Print is the podcast for you. Managing high-stakes decisions on tight deadlines leads to stress and burnout, and keeping up with what’s coming next in law and the world of tech can feel like a full-time job in itself. Beyond The Fine Print cuts through the noise, delivering digestible insights on legal trends and developments in tech while breaking through the jargon. I’m your host, Rory O’Keeffe and each episode I’ll be bringing you a conversation with a thought leader in the space. This is the tech law podcast designed for in-house legal counsel in tech and commercial sectors, bringing you clarity on UK and European regulations, helping you feel more informed, effective and just a bit less stressed. This isn’t a legal seminar. If you want to gain real value without falling asleep, subscribe to Beyond The Fine Print on your favourite podcast platform now. Beyond The Fine Print ® 2024.
