The In-house Annual Conference is a chance for practitioners to hear from leading voices within the in-house community and from further afield. This year’s conference takes a look at professional ethics, legal updates, and career development. 

Our first will day will concentrate on the professional standards and ethical expectations of in-house lawyers, as we reflect on the lessons learned from the Post Office Horizon scandal. On the second day, we will cover essential legal updates, including the latest guidance on protecting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in your organisation and other sector-specific topics.  

Throughout the two days, we will also host our annual Rising Star Award presentation, sessions on career development, and presentations from guest speakers.  

Attendance at this conference will fulfil the annual one-hour of Risk Management CPD required by all Scottish solicitors.
