Synopsis

The world of in-house legal work is often surrounded by myths and misconceptions. Whether you are a qualified solicitor who has questions about what working in-house entails, are already working in-house and want to learn more about progression opportunities, or are just starting out in your legal career and want to know whether the in-house route might work for you, this book is for you.

Legal also provides useful, actionable advice for companies that are building their own in-house legal team, or that want to optimise relationships between their existing legal team and the rest of the business.

Among the key areas covered are:

• What working in-house involves and how it differs from private practice
• How in-house legal teams and departments are typically structured
• What progression and career opportunities exist for in-house solicitors
• How an in-house legal team can add value and optimise business performance
• How to ensure your in-house legal team works effectively with other departments in the business

This book answers many of the most common questions surrounding in-house legal work and seeks to demystify what is often a misunderstood and undervalued side of legal practice. Louise Wakelin shares valuable insights for both legal professionals and businesses, having worked with many in-house teams across various industries since 2008. If you have questions about establishing, being part of or working with in-house legal teams, this is the book for you.
