Current Issues

  1. The Committee assists Law Society Professional Training with the organisation of training events, on topical issues of interest and concern to in-house solicitors. As well as the educational benefits, these help to promote collegiality and the forming of connections between in-house solicitors. For details of our training events, see the Committee's News & Events.
  2. The Committee communicates with the profession through the Society’s various communications channels, including periodic articles in the Gazette, and the In-house Update, which features in the Members’ eZine and on the Website. For recent examples of this, see Resources.
  3. The Committee continues to provide guidance to individual members of the profession in response to phone and written queries. The Committee’s Guide for In-House Solicitors Employed in the Corporate and Public Sectors provides both prospective and existing in-house solicitors with key information.  
  4. The Committee represents the Society at the European Company Lawyers Association (ECLA) General Assembly meetings held twice a year. For details, see Networking under FAQ.
  5. The Committee liaises with other Society Committees and/or Society staff to provide the in-house solicitor perspective to submissions and practice notes, as the need arises.
