Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Australia

We hope you can join us at an exclusive lunch for senior in-house lawyers in Perth. This roundtable event will feature guest speakers Caitlin Westgarth, Associate General Counsel, Integrated Gas, Renewables & Energy Solutions Australia / VP Legal of Shell, and Linda Grace, Head of Ashurst Advance Reach.

Attracting and retaining staff is challenging at the best of times, and particularly during the ‘draft season’ we are in now. At this roundtable lunch, we’re going hear Caitlin's experiences at Shell and share stories of effective approaches to retaining and attracting the right in-house talent. Linda will also offer insights into ‘keeping the team together’, based on Ashurst Advance Reach's recent survey of over 100 legal consultants.

Seats at this event are limited. Please RSVP as soon as possible to confirm your place.
