Winning the case: Maximising the Role (and Perceived Value) of the In-House Counsel by Establishing a Winning Team that Significantly Contributes to Growth Targets.

Lina Brown, Group Commercial & Legal Director, Equiniti Group, UK

As the business I work for, the Equiniti Group, was preparing to float on the London Stock Exchange, I took on the role to head up the In-House Counsel team. The team that exists today is very different to the team I inherited. Working across multiple sites in autonomous roles had contributed to a sense of disconnection amongst team members. Following the implementation of a number of initiatives, and as Equiniti celebrated its first year as a PLC at the end of 2016, my team’s contribution to the businesses and the quality of team calibre has been widely acknowledged.
