“Head2Head” Book Reviews:

“This little gem should not only carry CPD points but should be required reading for every lawyer (both in-house and in law firms) who has any dealings with clients…”

— Sarah Sheehan, C&I Group Co-Chair and Director of Publications

“It really ought to be compulsory reading for all lawyers”.

— John Pratt, Partner, Pinsents

“This book is essential reading not only for in-house lawyers but also for anybody whose clients are in-house lawyers.  The central theme - how the profession can deliver more value - is the major challenge facing lawyers in practice.”

— Michael Michaelides, Head of Business & Client Development, CMS Cameron McKenna

“RECOMMENDED READING IN MANAGING OUTSIDE COUNSEL

Paul Gilbert: “Head2Head: Client Relationship Management: The Client’s View”
Author Publishing Ltd, 61 Gainsborough Road, Felixstowe, Suffolk IP11 7HS, England

A book by an in-house counsel is rare enough event. A book that deals with the relationship between the corporate legal department and outside counsel is always worthy of attention. It is hardly surprising therefore that “Head2Head” has sold over a thousand copies within months of its publication and has been described as “a book that should be in every corporate law firm”. Written by Paul Gilbert, a well-known UK in-house counsel, this handbook on relationship management also doubles as a useful best practice tool for in-house counsel. While much of this will be familiar ground for senior in-house lawyers, there is sufficient learning material for both in-house and outside counsel to make this short book, written in a congenial anecdotal style, a worthwhile read.”
