Knowledge
The knowledge base is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about your role and career, except the law itself!
Each article has been written either by an experienced in-house lawyer or by a subject matter expert in the area.
All articles have been carefully reviewed by members of the in-house legal community to make sure that they are relevant, focused and representative of normal good practice or thinking. We estimate that almost all of the articles will have had in excess of 50 years of in-house legal expertise applied to them before you see them!
While the articles are simply statements of opinion to help you to test and shape your own thinking, we believe they are very well informed and reflect the thinking of people who do, or have done, your role. Where possible we've added links to further reading and we'll also be adding the perspectives of how senior in-house lawyers have applied some of the themes, approaches and suggestions in the articles.
