Subject matter

Leading and motivating a legal team can be challenging at the best of times. These challenges are heightened for in-house lawyers involved in a merger or take-over whether they head up the legal function as a whole or a team within it. This workshop explores the difficulties thrown up when two teams become one. In particular:

  • Leading a combined function-key issues to consider

  • Motivating the combined teams

  • Gaining business support

  • Individual support

Target audience

  • Lawyers who have or will be heading up a merged function

  • Lawyers who have or will have some management responsibility within a merged function.

  • Lawyers who have a general wish to improve their leadership and motivational skills.
