    Hi All,

    We don't really talk much about in-house roles here and it's certainly something I didn't really understand why I was applying, but I suspect it will become a more common entry point in the future. That's why I thought it would be interesting to run a free workshop for members of the TCLA community on understanding the role of an in-house lawyer.

    The legal team at American Express have kindly offered to run this session. If you can spare 1 minute, I'd be grateful if you could complete this very short form so I can better understand what you find useful to be covered. This information will be sent directly to the team.

    Thank you!
    Jaysen

    I (completely randomly) did work experience at American Express Legal and they were super nice. I think in-house roles can be really interesting so this is a great initiative!
