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 Fiona Craig, Talent Manager, Ashurst Reach, Sarah Jaensch, Manager, Ashurst Reach, Ly Cejka, General Counsel, St John WA and Avi Bredmeyer, General Counsel, Public Transport Authority WA 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.
