LBCambridge
The In-house Lawyers' Spring & Summer School

At Queens’ College, Cambridge, just 36 in-house lawyers will debate, challenge and share in a highly interactive two-day programme supported by a brilliant team of generous and inspirational presenters and facilitators

Book Now

LBCambridge is perhaps the most joyful thing we do. It has changed the way in-house lawyers think about their roles and brought together a wise and generous faculty of presenters and facilitators to share career-shaping insights in a unique and beautiful setting.

The event is perfect for lawyers new to in-house roles, but will also be valuable to those in-house lawyers who would like a comprehensive refresher on skills and issues relevant to the sector.

The inaugural programme was in September 2006 and it has been held in April and September in every year since. The programme attracts in-house lawyers from around the world; every event is sold out and for many teams it is a fixture in their team development planning. We put our heart and soul into every event and our promise is to keep LBCambridge as the best event of its kind anywhere in the world.

Our editorial board

The Editorial Board of LBC Wise Counsel, our renowned “Wise Owls”, is a group of leading thinkers on all issues relating to in-house legal services. We are extremely proud and honoured to have so many highly respected individuals, each with a unique background and a depth of expertise that is unlikely to be found anywhere else in one place.

Many of our Editorial Board are on hand to offer their wise counsel and advice through our mentoring programmes, thought-provoking articles and by sitting alongside delegates at our LBCambridge events. On so many occasions, their insightful thinking and guidance has benefited in-house lawyers to overcome immediate and long-term obstacles, has given a clarity of thinking to future challenges and has taught people things about themselves they never knew.

LBCambridge Delegate (April 2018)

“Attending the conference has been an incredibly valuable opportunity and I have learnt a lot - both about myself, and the relevance of the in-house role within an organisation. I would strongly recommend this course to my colleagues/peers (and have already done so!). ”

Delegate LBCambridge 2018

“Had a great experience. It was a well organised event which was on point with pertinent issues related to an in-house legal role.”

Delegate April 2018

“I thought the course was excellent a great mix of thought provoking topics and challenging preconceptions.”

Delegate at LBCambridge 2018

“The presentations really stood out and have provided me with great material for reflection. The eclectic mix of Wise Owls did a fantastic job in directing conversation, providing views from an in-house, private practice and business perspective which is important.”

Delegate at LBCambridge April 2018

“The setting and structure of the course were great. What really distinguished it, though, was the availability of the 'wise owls' throughout the 2.5 days. The enthusiasm and willingness of the speakers to engage also shone through”
