As the world is changing so too are the demands being placed on lawyers and legal teams. It is imperative that we apply a wider business lens to decision-making and take a broad range of factors into account when providing advice and expertise to the business. The day will provide you with greater financial awareness and understanding to enable you to participate more confidently in business discussions with your colleagues across your respective organisations. The day will also provide you with a range of strategic tools and methodologies with which to evaluate your own business context, resulting in a more holistic perspective which you will then be able to apply to current and future opportunities.
