Part I: Managing Career Progression, Establishing Influence and Leading Effective Teams in the Life Science Legal Sector
This quickfire presentation will examine how influence is built and exercised within life science legal functions, and how it shapes decision-making authority, career trajectory and team performance.
Part II: Building Strategic Influence as Women in Life Sciences Legal Leadership
This session will bring together senior in-house counsel and private practitioners for a candid discussion on career progression, leadership development and building influence within life science organisations. Participants will exchange practical perspectives on navigating leadership transitions, building internal visibility and positioning themselves for senior roles across the legal function. The session will be structured to encourage peer-to-peer discussion, allowing attendees to share experiences and practical strategies across IP, regulatory, competition and corporate legal disciplines.
