No one will appreciate the unpredictability of your role more than you. The current level and pace of change is unprecedented. Furthermore, in house counsel roles are rarely the same in any two organisations, and the spectrum of responsibilities it covers is equally varied.
Balancing the expectations and goals of your business with the reality of the social, commercial and legal considerations is a skill which we know plays a central part in in-house counsel roles. Shoosmiths works alongside in-house lawyers (IHLs) to support you in navigating the way through this complex blend of priorities.
We strongly believe that it’s not only our insight that can be valuable to you - peer to peer communication is intrinsic in helping establish IHLs. The opportunity to share information, stories and knowledge is the foundation upon which we have built our existing IHL services.
Shoosmiths LLP is a team of 'extremely knowledgeable and friendly professionals', who are 'able to provide legal advice in a timely and appropriate way'.
As part of the Shoosmiths IHL network, you will:
Communicate with other IHLs within the network. Our regular IHL events across a varied range of legal topics provide the opportunity for peer to peer networking.
Receive regular copies of our commercial legislation tracker, Compendium. This much coveted guide to upcoming legislative changes is a key tool for many IHLs to prepare for the changes ahead, report to the board and instigate board discussions
Discover the ways in which you can establish your own identity within the role of IHL and ensure that your development is a continually evolving area. Collaborate not only with us, but the other panel firms you may work with in order to establish an efficient network of your advisers – improving efficiency and saving time.
