This was my first time attending the Lawyer Summit 0 and I took a lot from it. It was the variety of the programme which struck me most – quite unlike other conferences I have attended. I thought the sessions were of a high quality and everyone was willing to share and contribute to the discussion. I would recommend this event to all in-house lawyers.

The Lawyer Summit is a singular opportunity for you as senior in-house counsel to examine best practice, digest fresh insights and build relationships with your peers from commerce and private practice.

Within the framework of a two-day conference the unique format of the Summit enables you to maximise the value of your attendance through a personalised itinerary that is worth 11 CPD Hours.

The Legal Summit consists of four main elements:

The core of the Legal Summit is a cutting edge conference programme - split into three streams that cover a broad range of essential management, business-relationship and regulatory issues. Each session will be hosted by senior lawyers from in-house and private practice in a lively and interactive format.

Developing new and existing relationships with legal advisers is an important element of the role of a modern general counsel. Throughout The Lawyer Summit there are several opportunities for you to have informal one-to-one meetings with private practice delegates of your choice.

In addition to the conference programme, there are also a further 16 hours built into the schedule for informal networking with your peers from industry and private practice. This includes the magnificent Gala Dinner looking over the Brandenburg Gate.

From the moment you register until March 2009, you are able to network online with delegates both in-house and private practice, attending the summit via the interactive Message Board.
