“Workgroup Legal Manchester was absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed every session – the topics were interesting and relevant, the discussions were lively and thought-provoking and it was great to meet so many other GCs.”
Amy Wells General Counsel Burnley FC

Thank you, Amy! (more of those testimonies to come!)

Now, if you didn’t know, I am on a personal mission to help GCs outside of London find their own GC community, all at their doorstep.

So, behold the second edition of Workgroup Legal Manchester - the meeting place for GCs and Heads of Legal in the Northwest - which took place last month!

Because it’s not just community that matters to me, it’s creating a safe space for GCs to meet without being sold to, in a super informal atmosphere, where people can be themselves and share ideas on how to do their jobs better and happier!

“I really enjoyed the Workgroup Legal Manchester event. It’s was a great opportunity to expand my network with GCs and Heads of Legal in the North West, and to use the working sessions for ideas and inspiration towards relevant issues. Dialogue was very open and relaxed, and overall the event had a positive and fun vibe. I’ll certainly be back for future events.”
Alex Herrity Director of Legal Solutions Adidas

So, a huge thank you to all the GCs who ran discussion groups for everyone else on the day, and every single one of you who brought yourselves, your passions and your headaches. Thank you!

And to Pinsent Masons Vario, BCL Legal, Mills & Reeve, Lewis Silkin and Plume for supporting this event, and making all this connection happen!

“The effort put in [by Peter] in curating a relevant, focused and enjoyable day pays dividends. It’s unstuffy with a host of practical topics and a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow GCs and Heads of Legal.”
Nancy Walmsley Group Legal Counsel Murphy

I want to keep on keeping on, making these events for GCs in the North, so if you are either a GC who wants to get involved, please do get in touch with me, and let’s talk!

Our GC calendar for the rest of the year includes Birmingham (5th September), Leeds (10th October), and finally London (14th November), so save the dates!

Before I leave you to watch the highlights video below, one final testimony for you!

“Workgroup Legal Manchester is an excellent event for General Counsels. I particularly valued the open and honest discussions and found it really useful. It was also great to reconnect with some old colleagues as well as meeting plenty of new people.”
