Are you an in-house lawyer?

Or maybe a company secretary with responsibilities including legal affairs? You could be in a FTSE company with a substantial in-house team? Or leading a team working in central or local government? Alternatively, you may be the only in-house lawyer in a private sector business?

Then you're by far our largest client group and we think we know what makes you tick. Quite a few of our lawyers have joined from in-house positions and that improves our understanding of your world.

Of course, you want technical excellence. See the services section for everything we have to offer. And you possibly want sector expertise too. But you also want to know that we're going to look after you very well.

If you are new to Wragge & Co you should have a look at our information technology services. Partner Derek Southall promises he can make your life easier by cutting through all that IT salesman noise to help you find the right IT solution.

If you are thinking about what you should be doing for your CPD accreditation this year, our Spring In-House Lawyer session is a good place to start (this event is free of charge).

We've selected the programme based on your feedback. So, not only will you get your points allocation, you'll hear about the subjects that matter most to you.

This session's programme will cover:

  • Commercial Contracts - Our regular update on business contract law drawing on real examples from the courts with tips for best practice.
  • Arbitration - When should you choose arbitration? Is your arbitration clause fit for purpose?
  • Free/Open source software - Do you know what this means? Do you know what it means for your business? We will explain what it is and why it is important.
  • Employment - Workforce planning - what do you and the Board need to know? Why is it not just an HR issue?

If you are an experienced in-house lawyer the content of these sessions will be just what you need. Please contact Jacqui Lovell for more information.

Wragge & Co is committed to ensuring people with disabilities can participate fully in our events. If you would like to attend this event and there is something which will help you do so more easily, please provide details to Jacqui Lovell.

In addition to all the obvious benefits, we've also been known to provide a whole range of less obvious extras from sorting out recruitment needs (remember we know a lot of lawyers), holiday and emergency cover, desk-tidying and file-sorting. We'll pick you up from the airport if that's what you want!

We'd welcome an opportunity to pitch for your legal work or pitch for more of your legal work. Whether or not we're successful, we'd enjoy meeting you. Contact Quentin Poole.
