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.
