Join us in Auckland for Inside the In-House Experience - where you’ll gain insights into what it’s like to work in-house.

Hear directly from experienced corporate and government in-house counsel about what life is really like on the inside: the challenges, the rewards, and the key differences from law firm life. Learn what internal legal teams actually need from external advisors - and how to stand out if you're supporting them from the outside.

Whether you're actively considering a move in-house, want to learn about in-house practice, or simply hope to understand how to work better with corporate clients, this panel will offer candid insights, practical advice, and a clearer view of your career options.

The panel will include Charlotte Joy (Air New Zealand), Calantha Peter (Fullers), and Sarah Lim (EMA), Jarod Davies (Serious Fraud Office) with Ben Cleland as MC. 

The format will be informal yet informative, with opportunities for networking both before and after the discussion.
