Description
Sometime the relationship between an in-house legal team and a law firm is a story of long lasting success and sometime it is not. The session will address what can make a relationship win-win and what instead put it at risk. Expertise and costs are not the only two variables. Soft skills and reciprocal understanding are also important. With an eye to the future: how will you be using external lawyers in five years' time?
