defense industry general counsel

On this episode of HeadHunters NW Podcast, Shaylene has an in-depth conversation with Nathan Schueth, Director of Sales and Business Development at HK USA, highlighting both his professional journey and an exciting new career opportunity within the organization.

They discuss what makes attorney-client relationships work, emphasizing frequent communication, non-transactional partnerships, and proactive planning to reduce cost and stress. Clay shares examples of strategic counsel around controversial but legal products and exit/retirement and generational succession planning. He warns that delaying legal involvement in deals, especially international, can lock in bad terms. They cover growing state-level regulation, efforts by gun control groups to create uncertainty for companies and investors, and a Second Circuit insurance coverage decision involving intentional-act exclusions. Clay advises treating counsel as a decision-making team member and shares how rewarding working in the firearms industry is for him.
