ACC Law Department Leadership 2.0

Program Overview

What is it?

Law Department Leadership 2.0 will help in-house counsel hone their leadership skills to be more effective law department leaders, collaborate with non-legal staff to meet their organization’s business challenges and benchmark their personal and department’s performance against others in the in-house community.

ACC and leading Canadian in-house counsel developed the intensive, one-day program because today’s companies require that their in-house counsel be effective managers as well as excellent lawyers.

Who should attend?

The program is designed to provide practical information for in-house lawyers who have or will soon have management responsibilities.

What will you learn?

Aperçu du programme

De quoi s’agit-il?

La formation Law Department Leadership 2.0 aidera les conseillers juridiques d’entreprise à améliorer leurs qualités de leader pour pouvoir diriger plus efficacement leur service juridique. Elle les aidera aussi à collaborer avec le personnel non juridique pour relever les défis auxquels fait face l’entreprise et leur permettra de comparer leur rendement personnel et celui de leur service au rendement des conseillers juridiques d’autres entreprises.

Aujourd’hui, les entreprises exigent que leurs conseillers juridiques soient des gestionnaires efficaces en plus d’être d’excellents avocats. C’est pour refléter cette réalité que l’ACC, en collaboration avec des chefs de file parmi les conseillers juridiques d’entreprise canadiens, a mis sur pied cet atelier intensif d’une journée.

Qui devrait y participer?

L’atelier vise à fournir des renseignements pratiques aux avocats en entreprise qui doivent, ou qui devront sous peu, assumer des responsabilités de gestionnaire.
