Specifically designed by ULaw and CLL, drawing on expertise from members across the in-house legal community.
We've also taken note of the feedback from the first sessions back in March to improve the structure and deliver a course driven by your peers.
The Course introduces delegates to the different skills required to operate effectively as an in-house lawyer and takes a pragmatic look at what a business expects from their in-house lawyer and how this can be achieved.
Aimed at those new or returning to an in-house role as well as any lawyer who wants to better understand about life working in-house.
Delegates will:
- be introduced to the dual role of the in-house lawyer as both lawyer and business advisor;
- learn about the key skills and behaviours which an in-house lawyer needs in order to be effective;
- be introduced to the concept of “value” and how an effective in-house lawyer adds value to their organisation; and
- undertake tasks relating to workload management and prioritisation, risk assessment and effective communication.
By the end of the course you will:
- understand how an effective in-house lawyer adds value to their organisation;
- appreciate the nature of risk and the relevance of risk assessment when operating in-house;
- better understand the distinction between a commercial and a legal issue, what is achievable and the limits of your capabilities when prioritising your workload and seeking input from business colleagues;
- appreciate the importance of effective communication when dealing with others; and
- gain an awareness of any additional skills or behaviours you may need to acquire in order to operate as an effective in-house lawyer.
