The Future of the In-House Lawyer

May 2016ManagementConstruction

Abstract

Over the past two years, it has been a privilege to work with many senior General Counsel, those who work with them – including a Chairman, a Chief Executive and a respected law firm - and those who study and write about them. The result is a collection of a collection of personal reflections and thought-leadership pieces, prepared as writings on the in-house role, the leadership role of the General Counsel, and insights into the challenges, influences and innovations of the future, in The Future of the In-House Lawyer: the General Counsel Revolution.
