A crucial skill for in-house lawyers to have is to be able to build trust with the Board

In-house lawyers often have the difficult task of balancing being a technical legal adviser with being a business adviser.
And often, because lawyers tend be risk averse, they can be viewed more as the ‘handbrake’ or have a ‘sign off’ function.
Jennifer Page, Executive Director at Goldman Sachs, will be at the inaugural NZ Lawyer In-House Legal Summit to explain why that doesn’t have to be the case.
In her session on building trust with Boards, Page will explore executive-level communication techniques. She will cover skilful communication and how it can build trust and enable positive business outcomes; how to work collaboratively with the executive team; conversational intelligence; the art of internal sales: how to make a business case that wins new budget; and how to think creatively.

The NZ Lawyer In-House Legal Summit will be held at the Cordis Auckland on Tuesday 27 November.
