Training Courses for International Legal Departments

April 2012Management Insurance

Abstract

Managing an International Legal team spread out across various regions, countries and time zones comes with a unique set of challenges. How can a manager inspire the team to a common vision? How can management control legal risk over multiple jurisdictions? Can there ever be common standards given the diversity? Is it possible to have a close cohesive team across borders and time zones? An integral part of answering these questions in the affirmative is a strong departmental training program that includes on boarding, a continuous rotation of refresher training, site specific training, department wide training, business training and legal training. This article aims to serve as a guide for the International Legal Department manager to building a strong learning and development program in order to reap the benefits of team building and forging strong relationships between remote sites and their head offices.
