    In-House Insights Programme

Welcome to our In-House Insights Programme - part of our ongoing commitment to supporting GCs and those working in-house.

We understand that there is increasing pressure on in-house lawyers to be more than 'just legal'. Our programme is designed with and by the in-house community to support you by providing valuable insights on a range of pertinent topics; and to offer a space to hear different perspectives, make connections and build your network. To hear further details on the programme and view highlights from our first session on the evolution of the in-house counsel role, see below.

Past Events

Unpacking the Horizon IT Scandal

17 March 2026

Our latest In House Insights event brought together in house lawyers for a thoughtful discussion on the ethical lessons of the Horizon IT scandal.

In conversation with Megan Paul, Dr Karen Nokes shared insights from her empirical research into the role of in house solicitors and the pressures that can shape legal decision making within organisations.

The session explored themes of professional independence, escalation, and organisational culture, prompting open and reflective discussion among attendees. It served as a timely reminder of the importance of creating environments where legal advice can be challenged, supported and acted upon, and of the vital role in house lawyers play in upholding ethical standards.
