The ‘Legal as a Business Partner’ seminars, being held in Glasgow (12 Nov), Aberdeen (18 Nov) and Edinburgh (27 Nov), will explore how in-house legal professionals can develop their skills as a strategic connector between their legal expertise and business priorities of their organisation. The sessions will focus on business partnering and its guiding principles for success with practical insights from other in-house lawyers and experienced CMS colleagues.

The events are part of the firm’s In-House Essentials programme which is aimed at supporting in-house legal teams to expand their networks, stay ahead of legislative and industry changes, and develop essential leadership skills.

Allan Wernham, managing director, CMS Scotland, said: “In a landscape where companies and organisations face increasing administrative and legislative challenges, it’s vital that in-house legal professionals fully align the expertise they provide to the core business priorities of their organisations.

“These upcoming seminars will provide insights and guidance on how this can be achieved with some powerful insights from other in-house teams as well as CMS professionals with an established track record of supporting in-house clients.

“The events are part of our In-House Essentials programme which is designed to support in-house legal teams in developing leadership skills and getting up to speed on key legislative and technology developments that impact on their role.”
