In-house counsel are typically good at the technical skills of their jobs. However, a busy in-house attorney often neglects networking activity. Networking isn’t just about finding jobs anymore!

Whatever your needs, effective networking is a must have skill.

The role of in-house counsel continues to evolve and so do the career opportunities: have you thought about where you want the next stage of your career to take you? Here is your chance to learn from the experts as they explore the methods on how to get there from here including a list of dos and don'ts. Learn how to build the skills and networks you can rely upon to further your career.

This workshop teaches the practice and principles of effective negotiation. It emphasizes both communication skills and the ability to think analytically about various aspects of the negotiating process including planning and preparing for negotiations, identifying and sampling individual negotiating styles and the impact of ethical and practical questions. Topics covered include: salary negotiations, vendor interactions, and the attorney-paralegal relationship (negotiating project details, deadlines, management issues).

Who you know is as important as what you know. This seminar focuses on how you can use both factors to influence your legal department environment in a positive way. Successful mastering of this skill will enhance your career and facilitate your relationships with legal department colleagues, and the department's clients.

Negotiation skills are critical in a multitude of personal and professional relationships, and many lawyers both young and old lack the necessary skills to achieve the desired outcome while creating synergy and fostering good, long-term relationships. Whether you are looking to brush up on your individual skills or overhaul your negotiation tactics, this session will help you succeed.

To successfully respond to the legal, business, and ethical demands place on in-house counsel today you need to be a leader. But leaders are not born, they are made. The first step to taking on this role is to know and understand yourself.
