Guidance Manual for In-House Lawyers

This Guide is for new In-House Lawyers; trainees, newly-qualified or from private practice. As we are all part of the same profession, in-house lawyers are subject to the same basic rules that all solicitors operate under.

Looking after one client entails practical differences and exemptions from some of the general rules, but it also attracts extra restrictions. This Guide highlights practical and ethical issues you are likely to encounter in your role as an in-house lawyer, and is also a key information resource for company secretarys.

If you have any queries contact the Group Secretary or the Society’s Director of Professional Practice.
