Helping Businesses build stronger legal skills
As businesses grow rapidly, legal departments too have to grow to support them. In this rapid growth environment, training is often left by the way side as legal counsel are forced to prioritise immediate business requirements over training needs.
HB Law addresses this need by offering training services to businesses and in-house legal counsel.
- Our services will further junior professionals’ career development, accelerate the careers of mid-career professionals, and lighten the burden of training on senior professionals.
- Our training programmes are designed in collaboration with senior in-house counsel, to combine their specific domain expertise with our broad knowledge and experience.
- Our comprehensive approach to training produces training material that is relevant and re-usable.
Our approach
Our founding partner has conceptualised and delivered multiple training sessions for lawyers of varying experience both in-house in India and the United Kingdom, and at law firms in India and the United Kingdom.
- Our programmes will be simple and accessible. We will translate “black-letter” legal information into accessible, business-friendly information.
- We will leverage our founding partner’s cross-jurisdictional exposure in providing training services. This lets us explain how the same legal or regulatory issue can manifest in different ways in different geographies and also draw out the different approaches taken by regulators in different jurisdictions.
- We will leverage our founding partner’s experience both at law firms and in in-house roles to consider multiple practical facets to a legal or regulatory issue. This includes the differences in sophistication of approaches to an issue and gaps in culture, communication, and project management. The junior professionals we train can take a more informed approach to their work.
- We also draw from our founding partner’s experience in different business sectors, for example in the technology and financial sectors, to design and implement training programmes in areas of business that leverage complementarities between multiple sectors.
