In-House Essentials

A tailored programme for in-house lawyers in Scotland, designed to help expand networks and develop essential skills

2 min read

On this page

As an in-house lawyer in Scotland, you’re an expert in your specific field. But would you like to expand your networks, and your skills, by reaching out into the wider legal community?

CMS Scotland’s In-House Essentials programme can help you do just that. With a range of tailored events and resources, our Essentials programme is specifically designed with in-house lawyers in mind. We know you’re all tight for time, so our events will be focused and relevant. The CMS Scotland team will draw on its expertise and market know-how to deliver real value.

The aim is to deepen your knowledge of legislative changes - and learn more about the wider skills we all need to do our jobs to the best of our ability. This might include communicating complex legal ideas to a non-expert audience or presenting to the board with confidence and focus - and building better and deeper relationships inside and outside your firm. Throughout the programme, the CMS team will share their insights about the Scottish market - strengthening and deepening their long-term relationship with you, while helping you build stronger networks with the wider in-house world.

CMS Scotland’s In-House Essentials programme is tailored for all in-house lawyers - from Heads of Legal to Juniors.

Upcoming events and resources

  • What is CMS Skills For Future Facing Teams, and what’s in it for you?

    Increasingly, clients are asking us for support with skills development for their teams. Since 2018 we have been running Skills For Future Facing Teams, a programme specifically for in-house teams.

  • Strategic Secondment Unit: Flexible secondment resource

    Anticipating our clients' current and future needs is at the heart of our approach at CMS Scotland.
