New in-house counsel executive business programme

In-house counsel can gain vital business skills on a new, specifically designed 10-month executive business programme. The programme, launched last week by LexisNexis UK in partnership with the Cranfield School of Management, is a part-time modular course which is accredited for 62 CPD hours by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

It aims to equip in-house lawyers with skills recognised as essential to business, and has been developed following extensive research into the work and perceptions of in-house lawyers across financial services, telecoms, oil and gas and a range of other industries. It is now open for applications for the January 2013 intake.

Paul Hughes, director of the programme, said: “This is the first customised in-house programme of its kind in the U.K. and addresses what in-house lawyers need to develop to deliver the greatest value to their organisation.”
