    In-House Insights Programme 23/24

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.

Following feedback from our network of clients and contacts, and in partnership with Isambard Legal – a legal consultancy with over 60 years of private practice and in-house expertise – we welcome you to our programme for the rest of 2023 and into early 2024. 

If you are interested in attending any of the below sessions, you can pre-register your interest by clicking on the button below. Further details and formal invitations will be sent out to the network 6 weeks before the date of the event.

That ability to connect, to build trust and to be able to bounce ideas off of them [the network] in the future, to me, is exceptionally valuable"

Andrew Eames, General Counsel, The Restaurant Group

It’s a great opportunity to generally discuss with people in the same industry as you and find out the sort of issues they have. It’s a really good event"

Freddie Law, Legal Counsel, TikTok
