CLE Day January 2024:
Scale LLP In-House Bootcamp

Friday, January 19, 2024
10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST
1:00 PM to 5:00 PM EST

Join Scale LLP for our annual "In-House Bootcamp" CLE Day, January 19, 2024! 

Earn CLE credit while learning from the pros on how to be an effective and successful in-house lawyer.

Scale is a full service national firm built by entrepreneurs and former Silicon Valley GCs with a shared passion for building businesses. Because so many of our attorneys have been clients and founders, as well as practicing lawyers, our CLE Day is different. We don't just give you updates on legal developments, we present our content in a way that is relevant to in-house practitioners. Whether you are a new in-house attorney or a veteran GC, join us as we cover a range of practical topics with actionable insights, including legal ops, issue spotting, deals, raising money, ethical considerations for in-house lawyers, brand and IP protection, AI, privacy and more.

Speakers will share practical tips and hard-won lessons to help you rise to the challenge and succeed in-house. We’ll answer all your questions on navigating the role, such as:
  • What is the best way to set up my legal operations workflows?
  • Is there a framework to assess risk in contracts, deals and IP? How can I best protect the business?
  • What are my ethical responsibilities in litigation and investigations, and how do I reconcile those with the reality of the in-house business role? 
  • How do I navigate the organization, secure resources and build goodwill?
  • What lessons can I learn from GCs who have guided public and private companies through the ups and downs of the business cycle?
Approved Credit Hours: Texas, New Jersey, Florida, Illinois, Washington, Virginia, California, Colorado, New York (Out of State Course)
