Upcoming CLE Events and Training for In-House Counsel
Attorneys working in-house face unique issues, and as such their management training and CLE courses should reflect that. Since CLE requirements are mandatory, why not take classes that will actually help you deal with the particular issues that are relevant to your practice?
There are some great events coming up in May, and we have a roundup of some of the ones that may relate best to in-house counsel. Mark your calendars, and start tallying up your CLE credits, and add management training to your belts.
ACC Legal Service Management Workshop
On May 6 to 7, 2014, the ACC is hosting a two-day workshop in St. Louis. The course will focus on "value-based fee structures and the management skills and tools to support them." In addition, you'll be given some valuable resources to take home with you. And, as any legal workshop goes, this will be an excellent opportunity for building your professional network.
