OBA Ontario Bar Association In-House Lawyers PROGRAM | 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM (ET)

In-house legal careers are no longer defined solely by progression along a traditional hierarchy from counsel to general counsel. Many lawyers are increasingly pursuing alternative career pathways that offer different forms of impact, flexibility, and professional satisfaction. 

Join us to discover the emerging and non-traditional opportunities available and gain insight into pathways such as fractional counsel arrangements, strategic advisory roles within business teams, and careers in legal operations. Through candid discussion, panelists will share insight into the skills, mindset shifts, and market trends shaping these roles, along with real-world examples of lawyers who have successfully transitioned into these opportunities.

Designed for in-house counsel who are evaluating their next professional chapter or simply want a broader understanding of the range of viable career paths available, this session provides a thoughtful framework for navigating alternatives beyond the traditional in-housel ladder.

Following the program, take advantage of the networking reception to connect and build relationships with speakers and peers.
