Practical LawConferences

About the 2015 Forum

How many events have you seen geared towards the FTSE 100 organisations without taking into consideration the needs of smaller organisations and legal teams such as yourselves?

Practical Law is delighted to bring you, as part of its GC Leadership Series, the 2015 edition of its Leading Small and Medium Legal Teams conference.

This unique event has been developed for legal management of small and mid-sized teams who face the continuing challenge of working with limited resources and having to juggle multiple responsibilities to deliver value across the business.

We’ve structured this year’s conference under three main themes:

THEME 1: Developing your role within the business

• What do you need to be?
• What is expected of you?
• How and where can you do more or could do less?

THEME 2: Delivering value to the business

• How do you deliver within budget?
• What can you do to ensure every penny is well spent?
• What techniques are there for utilising external providers?

THEME 3: How do you manage and lead?

• What makes a good leader?
• How can you manage a small team effectively?
• How do you measure your team’s value add?
• What are the key features of a successful project manager?

This conference will offer you practical advice and strategies as well as skills to take away so you are able to maximise your team and other resources within your business. There are different dimensions to being a leader – it’s not just about managing, it’s about leading – which takes more than just management skills and good budgeting. How can you be a strong and successful leader? How can you always draw the most out of your team and assets? How can you implement positive change? Hear from experts and your peers who have firsthand experience and come away with leadership skills, techniques and tips to action in your business.

Often the role of a GC with a smaller team can be isolated, this conference is a greatopportunity to meet your peers, share your experiences and learn from each other’s successes and areas for improvement.
