Husch Blackwell and ACC Wisconsin brought together early-career in-house counsel in Milwaukee for an afternoon built around the real challenges of moving in-house: shifting from an outside counsel mindset, protecting privilege in the corporate setting, and partnering with business teams while managing risk.

The program paired CLE sessions with interactive breakout discussions, giving attendees room to work through practical scenarios with peers and experienced in-house counsel — not just listen to them.

Thank you to Fiserv for hosting, to our panelists for sharing lessons from their own transitions in-house, and to everyone who joined us for the conversations.
