In-house legal teams are experts at prioritisation, yet we all face the familiar “buts" - whose request is the loudest, who is the most senior or influential and which tasks carry the highest profile for the business.
Planning and re-planning become part of the daily rhythm and the ability to adapt quickly is even more essential when faced with the unplanned legal work that can impact multiple areas of the organisation. Additionally how do you find time amongst the 'fire-fighting' and BAU to strategically future plan?
Whether it’s a crisis or a last-minute rush for legal input, unexpected work can be stressful, exhausting and draining on both energy and resilience. At all levels, recognising the combined pressures of BAU and unplanned work - particularly when these situations occur regularly - it's vital to protect wellbeing while maintaining high-quality service.
Join us as two senior in-house legal leaders share their career insights, practical tips and experiences, reflecting on how they navigated these challenges from their first days in-house to their current leadership roles.
Moderating will be:
