Description:

The best way to learn about a client’s business is to be on the inside.  Secondments, a growing trend in the legal industry, can provide that unparalleled opportunity.  Secondments are a temporary loan of a law firm lawyer to a client for a specific project or to fill a short-term need.  This win-win arrangement benefits the lawyer, the law firm and the client.  The lawyer gains valuable knowledge about the client’s perspective and business. The law firm further builds and cultivates their relationship with the client. And the client gets a top-notch lawyer who brings a particular expertise to the mix,  and can seamlessly handle its work now and post-secondment.

Join us for this timely and thought-provoking webinar to hear directly from top in-house counsel and law firm leaders as they discuss their experiences with secondments.  As a result of this webinar, you will learn:

  1. The benefits and challenges of secondments;
  2. Factors that should be considered by the lawyer, the law firm and the client prior to the secondment;
  3. Methods for structuring secondments, including timing, payment and other logistics;
  4. Lessons learned from those who have arranged or participated in secondments; and
  5. Elements of a successful post-secondment period

Featured Speakers:
