In-house Lawyer Programme

From legal experts to business advisers

About the Programme

Staying abreast of developments in operational practices and technologies to manage risk and regulation is crucial to adding value to your organisations’ efficiency and competitiveness.

From corporate governance to new technologies, from data privacy to sustainability, legal teams are expected to be multi-faceted and to add value to the business across a broad range of developing topics across many jurisdictions. These evolved roles have turned in-house lawyers from legal experts into business advisers.

In light of the above, PwC is delighted to announce the launch of our In-house Lawyer Programme, a community of legal professionals which aims to provide a platform for in-house lawyers to stay informed of how organisations are responding to regulatory and market developments and emerging trends. The programme also provides opportunities for professional development and networking. PwC aims to share a practical real-world point of view, providing insights into the latest technologies and solutions that organisations are adopting to stay competitive in the current market environment.

Events will include in-person, hybrid and virtual events, covering different industries and locations across Mainland China and Hong Kong. CPD points will be applied from The Law Society of Hong Kong for Hong Kong event attendees for applicable events.
