Our year 2014/15 | Sector focus page | 20
Our in-house lawyers group continues to build on their reputation of offering valued support to general
counsel and in-house legal teams in both the private and public sector through monthly updates,
tailored products and a dedicated forum to exchange thoughts, ideas, and experience with their peers.
in-house lawyers
Each forum meeting centres on a series of legal updates
in areas such as employment, IT, corporate, public,
consumer and competition law. Last year, our eight
in-house lawyer forums in London, Nottingham,
Manchester and Birmingham attracted over 450 in-house
counsel, leading to a spate of new instructions.
Our extensive product portfolio sits alongside the
in-house lawyers forum. These products are tailored to
meet the specific needs of our clients, for example, our
'checker' product is designed to help in-house lawyers
get a fast and practical second opinion when timing is a
critical factor. It is the equivalent of going to the desk of
a specialist in private practice and seeking a view and, in
the last 12 months, around a third of our in-house forum
attendees have utilised this product.
In 2014/15 we also developed a strategic partnership
with BCL Legal, one of the UK's leading in-house
recruitment agencies, to assist us in promoting our
forums to their extensive client base.
