The secret weapon most lawyers overlook?
It’s not just technical skills. Not just experience.
It’s cultural intelligence.
The ability to navigate different perspectives, understand global nuances, and adapt to unfamiliar environments. And in an industry that’s becoming more international by the day, it’s the difference between stagnation and opportunity.
Think about it: The best lawyers aren’t just great at the law.
They’re great at people.
They build relationships across borders, decode unspoken cultural expectations, and know how to turn differences into strengths.
In this conversation, we sit down with Gary Miller, partner at Mishcon de Reya, Head of China Desk & Chair of International Fraud Group. Gary is a global asset recovery expert with 47 years of experience in uncovering and securing assets, leading cross-border teams, and driving high-stakes settlements.
We talk about the power of cultural intelligence, the value of trusting your instincts, the lessons that come from embracing change, building the right networks, and seeing failure as part of growth.
