WEBINAR
This webinar is being hosted by CBA In-House Lawyers
The In-House Counsel Bootcamp is a practical, Canada-focused foundational program designed to equip in-house lawyers with the core knowledge, context, and confidence required to succeed in an in-house role.
Offered by CBA In-House Lawyers in partnership with LexMundi, this five-part program supports lawyers who are:
- New to in-house practice, including those transitioning from private practice;
- Early- to mid-career in-house counsel seeking to reinforce or update their core competencies; and
- Legal leaders and departments looking for an onboarding and professional development solution for in-house team members.
Delivered online in collaboration with LexMundi and its partner firms across Canada, the Bootcamp brings together experienced in-house and external counsel to address the legal, business, and risk considerations that commonly arise across in-house roles and industries.
