LBCambridge2 is not just another development course. It is a paradigm shift for senior in-house lawyers which I found to be challenging, invigorating and rewarding in equal measure. At a time when being a good lawyer is no longer sufficient and in-house legal teams need to integrate more within their businesses as astute commercial advisers, all members of our profession could benefit greatly from the integrity of the LBC Wise Counsel team and their genuine desire to see individuals liberate their full potential
