Overview (Program Summary)
The role of in-house legal teams – and the roles of the lawyers within them – are increasingly becoming broader, more business-embedded and multi-disciplinary in nature. In other words, traditional boundaries are blurring.
At this exclusive roundtable, we invite you to join Linda Grace, Partner & Global Practice Head of Ashurst Reach, Fiona Craig, Talent Manager, Ashurst Reach and Mike Madden, Group General Counsel, Company Secretary & Ethics Officer, EQUANS ANZ, and ACC Queensland, in a discussion to share experiences of blurred boundaries and thoughts on what this evolution means for lawyers, in-house teams and their organisations, and the multi-disciplinary skills lawyers need for the future.
Seats at this event are limited to 15. Please RSVP as soon as possible to secure your place.
