Legal careers usually begin by building technical expertise, which forms the foundation of a lawyer’s legitimacy, credibility, and self-confidence. However, as careers progress, expectations towards in-house lawyers shift beyond expertise to include leadership. This evolution is not always explained or guided, leaving many in-house counsel unprepared to transition into leadership roles. In this session we will explore :

  • the journey from expertise to leadership, emphasizing the need for proactive self-development
  • how to leverage your current role as a platform to develop a strategic mindset and take on leadership tasks
  • the concept of “competency trap” and how it can stand in the way of career growth
