Best Practices for In House Legal 2010

Building an exceptional counsel team to maximise legal practices

The In House Legal Counsel forum is the premier legal and business event for general counsel. The forum aims to bring together like-minded individuals to address key management issues at the highest level. This year s forum is dedicated to improve overall efficiency of your legal department. As the globalisation of business gathers pace, the need for creative talent has never been so high on the agenda of general counsel. This event will provide a platform for government bodies, private companies and solution providers to network and share the latest insights and views relating to in house legal counsel.

The ultimate goal is to focus on areas in which the legal function can add the greatest value to the company. Strategies, information, analysis and resource allocation decisions should support that goal. Law departments will continue to develop performance measures, especially those that are results-oriented. They will begin to integrate these measures into other management approaches, including departmental and individual planning, activity and process analysis, performance evaluation and reward programs, and design and implementation of management information systems.
