Last month, Corporate Counsel, an affiliate of The Recorder, named PayPal general counsel Wanji Walcott GC of the year, and published a profile of the in-house leader.  

Just a few weeks later, The Recorder’s Caroline Spiezio sat down to speak with PayPal’s other legal boss — chief legal officer and executive vice president, chief business affairs, Louise Pentland. The seasoned in-house lawyer joined PayPal in April 2015, after more than 16 years in Nokia’s legal department, where she eventually landed her first CLO title.
