Announcing the next round of In-house Lawyer Debates on Value
In February 2008 the regional events division of LBC Wise Counsel, LBConnect, launched the Lawyer Debates on Value series. Debates were held in several regions around the country and the in-house teams attending the debates represented a wide cross section of sectors and industries including financial services, the public sector, the university sector, from manufacturing, retail, pharmaceuticals, utilities and IT. The size of team represented also varied considerably and ranged from one team with nearly one hundred fee earners to one with just two lawyers.
After each round of meetings we are publishing a significant report and the first report can now be downloaded here.
These debates, held under Chatham House rules, will take place in June as listed below:
3rd June South West (Bristol)
5th June South (Fareham)
26th June Warwickshire (Solihull)
This round of debates will discuss the role of the in-house lawyer in the context of the value to be added by the individual in-house lawyer: This will include, for example:
- What are the qualities needed to be a successful in-house lawyer?
- Is subject specialism less important than rounded people/influencing skills?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the way we develop talent?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the recruitment market and recruiters?
- What will be the essential characteristics of the next generation of General Counsel?
Attendance is free to all in-house lawyers, whatever their role or experience, but you will need to register your interest as places at each event are limited.
Each debate (commencing at 5.30pm and concluding at 8pm) attracts up to two hours CPD and presents a great opportunity to consider current best practice in a number of key performance areas as well as a chance to network with local in-house lawyers in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
