Sam McGinty: Switching roles with confidence and finding balance as General Counsel

Sam McGinty is the Lead General Counsel at the University of Nottingham. In this episode, Sam came on to chat openly and honestly about his career as an in-house lawyer in higher education - the kind where “never a dull day” is less slogan and more survival strategy. Sam shared why he made the leap to Nottingham from a job he loved at Loughborough and what it really takes to manage pressure when you’re trying to be a leader, a parent, a partner, and a functioning human. We also get into the surprisingly emotional rollercoaster of LinkedIn visibility (yes, that top legal poster list), why boundaries aren’t a wellness buzzword, and how learning what not to worry about might be the most underrated General Counsel skill of all. Expect to learn: • Why higher education is under serious strain - and why it can be the most interesting place for lawyers to do their best work • How to make a “stretch move” as a GC without spiralling into I should already know where the tea and bathroom is energy • What burnout can look like in real life and why talking about it actually helps • How Sam approaches boundaries, overwhelm, and the art of saying “no” without feeling like you’ve committed a felony • Why LinkedIn can be more than algorithms and ego - and how using your voice can genuinely open doors Want to get in touch with Sam?
