Module 7
Your in-house career: moving in, growing up and proving the legal function’s value
Going in-house changes the job more than most lawyers expect. The client is now the organisation you work in, you are part of its life, and your success depends on being useful to the people around you as much as on being right. This module is about the person doing the job. It covers what changes when you move from a firm, or into a first in-house role; the skills that matter beyond the law; the usual paths towards senior roles; how to build a business case for something you believe the legal function needs; how to be visible without playing politics; and how to move on when the time comes. The paths and titles vary between countries and companies, and nothing here is career or recruitment advice for your own situation.
