In-house lawyer's launch event
The work of in-house counsel is always evolving but the next 18 months will change many of our roles entirely.
Join us and our expert guest speakers on Thursday 20 April 2023 at our Birmingham office to hear about the four essential skills all of us will need over the next 18 months:
- Skill 1 – Digital Discernment: There’s no longer any need to ask if artificial intelligence will replace what you’re doing today. It will, and much sooner than you might think. The question is – how prepared are you? Can you advise on the implementation, on the ethical and practical issues? We’ll be sharing insights from our specially commissioned research into issues for in-house lawyers and businesses.
- Skill 2 – Up to date legal knowledge: Changes to commercial, and employment law in particular mean that much of what we take for granted will be out of date in the next 24 months. Don’t be that person who missed the recent changes and finds themselves corrected in the next negotiation!
- Skill 3 - Adaptability: The need to be flexible and learn new skills outside the law, including many that aren’t taught in law school - Dan Kayne, Founder of O Shaped
- Skill 4 - Personal Responsibility: The importance of aspiring to do better, to understand other perspectives, to take time out and learn the skill and power of listening – and debunking some myths around coaching - Liz Sebag-Montefiore, Co-founder of 10Eighty Executive Coaching
These sessions will be followed by a Q&A panel discussion. You will then have the chance to connect with colleagues over drinks and canapés afterwards.
We look forward to seeing you there!
