General Counsel Summit
19/06/2025 13:26:00Thank you to the over 220 in-house solicitors and colleagues who joined us at the Law Society on Tuesday, 24 June, for the General Counsel Summit.
This event brought together in-house legal professionals for a morning of fireside chats with some of Ireland’s leading General Counsel, exploring the theme of ‘Career Journeys, Leadership and Lessons Learned’.
This event was shaped by what our in-house solicitor members told us they wanted most: real conversations about career journeys, leadership, and lessons learned - shared by those who’ve walked the path and those blazing new trails.
Speakers shared thier career journeys, leadership philosophies, and what they’ve learned in the evolving legal and corporate landscape.
Thanks to our incredible lineup of General Counsels and rising stars for promises a day full of insight, inspiration, and connection.
