InHouse+ brings together our in-house lawyer community into one unified, firm-led programme
Whether you are building your technical expertise, stepping into leadership, or operating at General Counsel level, InHouse+ provides relevant insight, meaningful connections and practical support, shaped and led by our partners, client team and industry experts.
About the programme
InHouse+ is a coordinated programme that brings together all of our engagement with the in-house lawyer community under a single, cohesive programme.
Our ambition is simple: to strengthen engagement with in-house lawyers through a consistent, high-quality programme that delivers real value at every level.
In-house lawyers are key to many of our client relationships and we have worked with them to develop a programme that delivers for them.
At its core, InHouse+ is:
- firm-led and insight-driven, shaped by leading practitioners and industry voices
- community-focused, connecting in-house lawyers across sectors and seniorities
- alumni-powered, maintaining long-term relationships and shared experiences
- practical and relevant, addressing real-world challenges faced in-house
This is more than a series of events; it is an ongoing network designed to support your career and strengthen connections across the in-house community.
GC: Strategic, peer-level engagement focused on leadership, risk and board-level decision-making, with opportunities to connect through open discussion and shared perspectives.
Lead: Future GCs and senior in-house lawyers receive development support to build leadership capability, confidence and networks, helping them take the next step into GC and senior roles.
Develop: Practical training tailored to in-house roles, building confidence, capability and commercial understanding.
Connect: An active alumni community to stay connected, share insight and build relationships through ongoing engagement and networking, including the six-monthly Infinity magazine and regular updates.
Why join InHouse+
InHouse+ is built around four strands, designed to support in-house lawyers at different points in their careers.
