Practical Law

Please join us on 17 January 2024 (2.00pm – 3.00pm) for a webinar hosted by The Centre for Legal Leadership that will look at how in-house lawyers can be influential in their roles.

A key aspect of any in-house lawyer’s role is influencing your clients. The most obvious example is in relation to your legal advice. However, getting your advice accepted is not just a matter of what you say or write but how much influence you have in the relationship and generally in the organisation. This webinar will explore what influence means for in-house lawyers and legal teams, and how you can become more influential in your relationships with clients, colleagues and other key stakeholders.

The discussion will be led by our speakers, Sinead Murray, General Counsel at Ofgem and Mandy Kaur, General Counsel at Pizza Express.

Please join us on 22 November 2023 (2.00pm – 3.00pm) for a webinar hosted by The Centre for Legal Leadership that will look at the current challenges facing in-house lawyers.

In recent years, in-house lawyers have navigated an array of financial, political, environmental and pandemic events that impacted their organisations. In responding to these challenges, in-house lawyers have had to reconsider their roles and sometimes alter the ways in which they work. This webinar will examine the extent to which these changes have been temporary, borne of necessity, and those which are likely to become business as usual. It will focus on whether an in-house lawyer’s ethical responsibilities have changed, the scope of their role and the impact of new technology.

The discussion will be led by our speakers, Sonya Branch, General Counsel, Bank of England and Richard Hill, General Counsel for Downstream and Renewables at Shell.
