Navigating Your In-House Legal Career

This event is open to all ACC Chicago members, but will be of particular interest to in-house counsel who are new to their in-house positions and/or looking to grow within their legal team.

Transitioning to or elevating your role within an in-house legal department comes with unique challenges and opportunities.  A panel of experienced in-house counsel will explore the key differences from other legal careers and provide insights into successfully integrating into a new organization, avoiding common missteps, and debunking myths about in-house practice. Learn how to build trust with business teams, navigate internal roadblocks, and foster collaboration. 

The panelists will share strategies for working effectively with outside counsel, networking for career advancement, and positioning yourself for business-side opportunities. Whether you’re new to in-house or looking to take on a new leadership role within your in-house team, this discussion will offer practical guidance for long-term success.
