Harvard Law School offers two Executive Education programs: Leadership in Law Firms and Leadership in Corporate Counsel. Please click on the links below for detailed overviews of each program.

Leadership in Law Firms

By studying a cross-section of professional service firms, including law firms, law firm leaders worldwide learn the unique challenges of leading these organizations and develop perspectives and skills to be effective law firm leaders.

Leadership in Corporate Counsel

Being a provider of sophisticated services to internal clients exposes Corporate Counsels to challenges unlike those faced by leaders of law firms, or other external-client facing professional service firms. Corporate Counsels have to negotiate the treacherous crosscurrents between providing high quality service to corporate leaders without top-line visibility, maintaining independence in advice but alignment of interests, and recruiting and nurturing high-quality professionals while emphasizing their value to revenue-generating executives.

This intensive, five-day program offers Corporate Counsels insights into the challenges they face and provides concepts and skills to be effective leaders of their function and their companies.
