In this episode, I sit down with James Harris, Partner at international law firm Pinsent Masons, for a wide-ranging and refreshingly candid conversation about career longevity, leadership, and the evolution of the energy and infrastructure sectors across Asia and beyond.
James brings over 25 years of legal experience working across diverse geographies — from Singapore to Samoa, from Mongolia to Saudi Arabia — advising on some of the most complex and transformative projects in energy and infrastructure. But this episode goes beyond legal work.
We unpack what it really takes to thrive in a career that spans decades and continents — the personal reinvention required to stay relevant, the challenges of leadership in uncertain times, and the impact of the global energy transition on how professionals work, collaborate, and grow.
This is not a “how to be a lawyer” episode — it’s a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and real leadership in a world that doesn’t sit still.
🎙️ Highlights include:
- James’ journey from the UK to Asia, and how he found his edge in the region
What makes a great leader in high-stakes, global environments
How energy transition is disrupting legal advisory and infrastructure development
The power of curiosity, humility, and long-term perspective
Personal stories, career lessons, and practical advice for anyone in law, business, or energy
If you’re looking for a grounded, insightful perspective on leadership, change, and career evolution — this one’s for you.
