Women Lawyers Forum | Original Program Date: September 26, 2016

In its ongoing Pathways to Power series, the Women Lawyers Forum (WLF) shines a light on the successful journeys of female lawyers into positions of power and influence. The WLF, in partnership with Canadian Corporate Counsel Association (CCCA) - Ontario Chapter, is proud to present the next installment in the series focused on women general and in-house counsel.

Join us for a candid conversation about the personality dynamics, hard skills, and professional background that general and in-house counsel need. Consider why and how women lawyers transition into an in-house role, and get practical advice from women leaders who have achieved success in a wide variety of industries and settings. What do you need to know about working in-house if you are looking to transition out of private practice? What is it like to have a career as an in-house "lifer"? Our dynamic and diverse panel will share their advice and perspective on both challenges and strategies to navigate and thrive in government, small and large companies, and different industries.
