“HR is my best Frenemy!” said Legal (Really?) 7 Tips to Reconcile HR and Legal

In the business world, there's a myth that the Human Resources department and the Legal department have relationships that are more than complex. Would you agree? Some would say they are “Frenemies”.

It may seem obvious, but when you take on a new position or start working with a new team, the first thing you have to do is introduce yourself. I know, “duh” right?

Identifying your strengths to boost your legal career

Let’s talk about the power of the Force! What do I mean by this? Our strengths, of course! This is the first thing I work on with each new mentee (I like to think of myself as a bit of a Jedi Master)

Managing negative attitudes for legal team success

We meet all kinds of people at work and in life - extremely positive people (thank goodness!) But also some negative people who are capable of bringing down entire teams.

Pass these 5 levels to become a successful legal team

“How do you build a successful legal department?” - a question I hear on a regular basis. There are several key factors when it comes to building a high-performing legal team. One key factor is team dynamics!

Stay safe, stay strong, all our love, from all at AndCo.

February 29th!

So, today’s a free day, an extra few hours to live a little more, intriguing… the whole idea of a leap day has our minds wandering, wondering, if you could do anything, anything at all, for 24 hours, what would you do? Sitting on a beach in the Maldives, from sunrise to sunset, no wifi, no calls, just endless Piña coladas, seems like a good start to us! …well, whatever you decide to do with your free day, make sure you enjoy it, in good company!

Yahoo! ...Monsieur Landy

An impressive milestone… today marks Pierre’s 20th anniversary in new tech, joining Yahoo, from his beloved Disney, on this day back in 1999… to put the timeline into perspective, it’s the same year Mark Zuckerberg started High School! An incredibly fast paced industry, intense pressure, requiring constant innovation, Pierre’s enthusiasm and energy always live up to the challenge! Continually pushing boundaries, over the last twenty years, we look forward the next twenty, in good company, with the man himself!

Around the world.

A truly wonderful adventure, Margot’s back home, safe & sound in beautiful Paris… having travelled across thirteen different countries, meeting thousands of people, visiting the breathtaking wonders of the world, cultures and communities, learning, understanding, and furthering her experiences… it’s now time for some home comforts, & of course, back to her studies! Mixed with emotions, Margot’s sad to be finished her travels, but excited to catch up with family and friends, telling stories of her trip, her most amazing experiences, in good company. 

Celebrating…

Today, on Alfred Nobel’s anniversary, we celebrate a select group of truly exceptional men and women from around the world with the awarding of the Nobel Prize, in recognition of their achievements towards academic, cultural, & scientific advances, or as the man himself said ‘for the greatest benefit of humankind’. Each year, the Nobel Laureates come together, in good company, in Stockholm, to meet with the Swedish King receiving their individual awards, with one exception… ironically, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded separately, in Oslo, Norway, as back when in 1905, when Alfred Nobel envisioned the awards, Norway and Sweden were united. Just some random trivia for a Tuesday…

Thanksgiving!

Gobble, Gobble, gobble... to all our American friends & family, we hope you and yours have a truly wonderful Thanksgiving, a time for kindness, gratitude, and most importantly, good company! Enjoy…

Colca Canyon.

As the adventure draws to a close, Margot’s making the very most of her last few weeks, taking every opportunity to explore more of the worlds wonders… this time, delving into the second deepest canyon in the world, the Colca Canyon in southern Peru. Trekking the site with two friends, camping out at the base, in an oasis, we can think of no better place to ponder her recent travels around the world, experiencing other cultures and communities, learning, understanding, and furthering her appreciation, in good company… 

It’s our birthday, yay!...

Wow, wow, wow, how time flies, & what a truly wonderful journey it’s been… today, we’re incredibly proud to be celebrating our fourth birthday! We’re profoundly grateful to all family, friends, colleagues & partners, to everyone that has supported us, in good company, throughout the AndCo adventure, of which there is some much more to come… AndCo Four-Ever!

Show us some love…

So today is #LoveYourLawyerDay, seriously, it's a real thing, it really is...  we swear… pardon the pun! Founded & promoted by the American Lawyers Public Image Association & the American Bar Association, the day celebrates all those involved in the legal profession, asking those who want to show their appreciation to do so, however they wish, & in return, the lawyers of the world will share the love by performing an hour of pro bono work, or by donating the equivalent of one billable hour to charity. Wonderful stuff, we adore the idea… so go on, show some love, in good company, of course!

The Middle of Nowhere…

Taking some time to reflect on the wild & wonderful Around the World adventure, Margot met with her friend from Paris, to trek through the Sajama National Park on the border of Chile. A truly unique experience, isolated from the world, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by lagunas, geysers, mountains, & the Sajama volcano… just two friends, in good company, camping out under the stars, like true nomads. We’re soooo jealous!

Snail Mail!

That’s right… we’re posting, about post, to celebrate World Post Day! Good old Snail Mail, in all its glory… pen to paper, the lick of a stamp, the excitement & wonder, who’s it from?, what’s it for?… pen pals and secret admirers, it’s all very nostalgic and romantic, or perhaps that’s just us! Replaced by so many ‘bings’ and ‘pings’, a bit of nostalgia on a Wednesday isn’t such a bad thing now is it…? We’d like to say enjoy the celebrations, but lets face it, this is probably the first you’ve heard of it! …but it’s a big thing, seriously! …a great day, celebrating postal systems around the world, keeping us all, in good company, for many generations past, and many more to come.

Free & Connected.

Today we mark Software Freedom Day, an annual, worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), with the aim to empower all people to connect, create and share in a digital world with transparency, and sustainability. No small challenge, the good folks at the Digital Freedom Foundation work tirelessly to realise this noble vision. With many events taking place around the world, increasing awareness of Free Software, its virtues, and encouraging its use. Today, we thank all those involved, for helping keep the digital world free, connected, & in good company. 

Machu Picchu.

The great adventure continues... with Margot making her way to Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. As one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, the breathtakingly beautiful Incan citadel of Machu Picchu is a true archeological treasure… built without the use of mortar, metal tools, or the wheel, this World Heritage Site is an engineering marvel! Incredibly, many mysteries of Machu Picchu and the Inca Empire remain, centuries of secrets, hidden for the ages, awaiting discovery… until then, Margot and the many adventurers, making the trek each and every year, can savour the spectacular sights, and that stunning sunrise, in good company.

wwwe’re getting old…

Today we celebrate #InternautDay, the 'birth of the internet', and the profound, innovative genius of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and his team at Cern. On this day, back in 1991, they opened the web to the world, forever changing it... creating connections, keeping the world, in good company! 

Beautiful Bolivia.

Mirror, mirror, on the floor… allowing us to see so much more! As the great adventure continues, Margot’s made her way to the truly remarkable Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, located in southwest Bolivia. Regarded as one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth, the feeling of infinity & reflection is exceptional due to the uniquely flat surface through the entire vista, a playground for photographic perspectives, take super snaps, making magical memories, and living the dream, in good company, of course!

& now to Peru…

The great adventure continues... to South America. Following five amazing months in Asia, Margot's moving on, to the other side of the ocean! First stop, Peru, woohoo! After taking a few days in Lima, to rest up & adjust to the whooping thirteen hours time difference, it's on to the middle of dessert... the Huacachina’a Oasis in Southern Peru. With a permanent population of around 100 people, it might be in the middle of the nowhere, but our Margot's still, in good company...!

La La Landy…

One month on, and we're only now starting to recover! What a party, what a showman, what a wonderful experience, what else would you expect... Monsieur Landy does it again, with a musicals and musical movies theme, the La La Landy extravaganza was simply wow, wow, wow! Fifty & Fabulous, celebrating in absolute style, in good company, of course!

The home of the brave, the land of the free... to all our American amigos, we hope you, & yours, have a truly wonderful time celebrating independence, solidarity, courage and equality... in good company, of course! 

Stonewall Fifty.

The riot that changed the world. Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. We reflect on five revolutionary days, & the brave souls that stood up to oppression, in the face of profound aggression. Through their exceptional courage, the Pride movement was born... a community of proud LGBTQIA+ people, continuing the fight for freedom, for all, to live their truth, in good company. 

Margot’s in Myanmar…

Simply breathtaking, the Bagan sunrise is a truly exceptional sight to savour! As the sun slowly illuminates 2000 temples, the picturesque sky fills with an array of multicoloured hot air balloons... wow, wow, wow, our jealously continues! As the saying goes, 'with every sunrise a new beginning, with every day a wonder' ...and we're wondering why we didn't go with her!!! To make sure our Margot's in good company, of course.

Together, in good company, we can help further this vital movement, uniting the world, with a shared vision to protect & conserve our world’s shared oceans. #BeatPlasticPollution

And Now to Nepal…

The great adventure continues! Following an intensive two week trek across the Annapurna Range, exploring the breathtaking surroundings, amazing cultures and incredibly friendly communities... staying in tradition mountain villages each night, keeping herself, in good company... we got a big, happy, 'Hi!, from up high' from our Margot, as she reached Thorong La, the highest pass in the world, at a whooping 5416m above sea level! Incredible stuff Margot, bravo!

One Year On…

Happy Spam-iversary... it’s been one whole year since the introduction of GDPR, one of the largest legal leaps for data protection in the digital age, & it’s just the start! Protecting people’s personal data is paramount to building trust, integrity and ensuring business longevity, as well as growth. With significant fines being enforced already, make the smart choice folks… be a good company, & of course, stay in good company!

Temple Time.

The adventure continues… taking time to explore the breathtakingly beautiful Angkor temples in Cambodia, as Lonely Planet puts it, Margot has landed in 'heaven on earth'. Angkor is the earthly representation of Mt Meru, the Mt Olympus of the Hindu faith and the abode of ancient gods, the temples are the perfect fusion of creative ambition and spiritual devotion. As Margot say's, the '8th Wonder of the World', a truly wonderful experience, trekking through the 38 degree heat, absolutely melting... in good company!

Happy Star Wars Day!

Over forty years of the force... a cultural and creative revolution, a universe for generations to enjoy, & now, the passing of a legend. Today we celebrate Star Wars Day, whilst we mourn for the great Peter Mayhew, aka Chewbacca. Rest well our Wookie hero.

World Intellectual Property Day

It is said that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’, to imitate is to pay a genuine compliment… & to that we say, nope, nope, nope! Intellectual Property is such an increasingly pertinent aspect of today’s modern world, it’s vital we foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. As such, today we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day, with this year’s campaign ‘Reach for Gold’ taking a closer look inside the world of sports. The drive to test our abilities, the thrill of competition, and the awe we experience in watching ordinary people achieving extraordinary feats… in good company, of course.

Cambodia Cool.

As the saying goes... let the sea, set you free! ...& wow, oh wow, we couldn't be more jealous!!! As the adventure continues, Margot's landed in Cambodia, stopping off at Koh Rong Sanloem, to be precise. A small island to the south, a tranquil paradise without cars, scooters, or even roads, it's all beach baby! Pure relaxation away from the hustle & bustle of the big cities in South East Asia. I think we all need to book a ticket, just to make sure our Margot's in 'good company'... let's get packing. #prettyplease.

Joyeux anniversaire…

Oh boy, oh boy… somebody celebrated a big birthday… joyeux anniversaire à notre ami Pierre!

Enjoy the celebrations monsieur, in good company, of course!

Three Caves…

The adventure continues… travelling across Vietnam, with beautiful landscapes, rice fields, rivers, magical mountains & spectacular sunsets, Margot has taken some time out in the northern village of Tam Coc. A truly picturesque, peaceful, atmospheric delight, the river landscape & rice paddies merge seamlessly, with traditional sampans making their way back & forth, rowed with feet.. seriously! …through the gorgeous greenery, under the watchful eye of many a mountain goat, perched high on the surrounding cliffs… in good company indeed!

Keen to explore other cultures and communities, Margot has made the trek to the Mongolian steps with a nomadic family from Terelj National Park, learning, understanding, and furthering her experiences, in good company… 

Who’s this…?

So today is International Data Privacy Day… originally started in Europe in 2007, and led by The National Cyber Security Alliance, this global online safety, security and privacy campaign is set as an opportunity to raise awareness, and to promote, the value of personal information by informing businesses about the critical need to respect consumer privacy and safeguard data… something we’re all increasingly aware of these days, as we connect, communicate and collaborate, in good company!

AndCo, Around the World…

A new initiative for a new year... as part of the AndCo adventure, we wanted to give back, to help others find, and follow, their passion. As such, today we are delighted to launch ‘AndCo, Around the World’, and quite literally launch the wonderful Margot Rabiller on the adventure of a lifetime! As student from Paris, Margot yearned to travel the world, to explore other cultures and communities, to learn, to understand, and to further her experiences, in good company… with the sponsorship of AndCo, travelling to fifteen countries over the next eight months, Margot will have the opportunity to do just that! - & of course, will keep us updated on her travels… stay tuned! & bon voyage Margot.
