“How to Manage Your Career” event for In-house Lawyers hosted by BCL Legal Recruitment Agency

Manchester, UK

On 6th June 2007 BCL Legal, the UK’s leading legal recruitment agency hosted an evening for in-house lawyers from leading businesses throughout the North West UK. The event was in conjunction with the Law Society’s Commerce and Industry Group.

‘How to Manage your Career’ was attended by 35 in-house lawyers who currently work across the North West of England at companies including CitiFinancial plc, MyTravel plc and United Utilities plc.

Lara Oyesanya - Head of Legal, Lex Legal Services, David Wilson - Head of Legal, Makro Cash & Carry UK and Steve McDowell - Legal Director, Military Air Solutions, BAE Systems all shared their own experiences of managing their legal careers and the importance of doing so. They revealed some of the good and the not-so-good advice that they have received during the course of their careers.

BCL Legal was also on hand to give advice on how to advance in-house careers, and offered tips on how to secure the next step as well as ‘how to make yourself marketable’.

Mark Levine, the in-house legal recruitment expert said ‘this was an excellent event for in-house lawyers, not only to raise their own profile within the in-house legal community but to get some real life examples of how other lawyers have been able to develop their careers’.
