Wanted: New Zealand’s premier in-house counsel

NZ Lawyer is once again calling for nominations to its annual In-house Leaders list

Wanted: New Zealand’s premier in-house counsel

For the second year in a row, NZ Lawyer is putting together a showcase of the most influential in-house counsel. The In-house Leaders 2020 list will recognise those individuals who are best demonstrating leadership by driving innovation, efficiency and creativity in meeting the needs of their organisations.

Submit a nomination here.

“Being recognised externally is part of improving the visibility of in-house counsel, and enables me to pursue my ambition to change the industry. I use my platform to show others it’s not only ok to prioritise wellbeing over productivity, but it is actually the only way to have a sustainable career. Working smarter means doing less and leaving space—for me, that next step forward when dealing with a complex problem is often arrived at while out walking the dog, and rarely if ever behind a screen after 9 hours of ‘work,’” said 2019 In-House Leader Hayley Cassidy, chief general counsel (CLO), BNZ.

Winners will be profiled on the NZ Lawyer website and newsletter, which is read by thousands of legal professionals across New Zealand. They will also be given access to promotional opportunities to build their profile as one of the country’s premier in-house counsel.

The In-House Leaders 2020 report will be published on the NZ Lawyer website and newsletter in October.
