ICW Universal Competencies Profile

Developed by In-House Counsel Worldwide (ICW) in 2018 and published by LexisNexis Canada, this competency profile guide outlines the commonalities around the world that define what an in-house counsel does and what an in-house counsel is.

Some of the specific requirements will vary according to the type of organization and nature of the business where an in-house counsel is employed, as well as the jurisdiction within which an in-house counsel operates. Additionally, the specific role an in-house counsel fills may vary by organization. The competency areas identify a common set of knowledge attributes and skills with which each in-house counsel must demonstrate an understanding.
