Intrapreneurship for in-house legal professionals

Most people will agree that there’s a lot of room for improvement when it comes to in-house legal. And if we want to progress your legal team, your business or the industry more generally, we’re going to need to challenge conventional thinking. This means we need more in-house legal professionals to have an entrepreneurial spirit, to be activators of ideas and be willing to take calculated risks. You’ll know the term entrepreneurship, but what we need in the context of in-house legal, is intrapreneurship. This is when people think and act like entrepreneurs but from within a company.
