UCLA Law Women LEAD of San Francisco Presents A Mentoring  Circle 

“Positioning Yourself to Transition to an In-House Legal Department” - Thurs., Feb. 11 @ 6pm, Sheppard Mullin, SF

Description: The labor market in San Francisco and Silicon Valley is hot, especially for mid-career professionals. Companies like Gap and Tesla, among others, are looking to bolster their legal departments with seasoned professionals. Our panelists will share their personal experiences making the jump in-house and navigating a business environment.  During the round-table discussion, we will cover topics such as “ideal” backgrounds and timing, how to promote yourself via resume and using social media, how to translate legal skill-sets into a business setting, how to negotiate your pay package. Instead of a panel with a strict agenda, our Mentoring Circles are small intimate interactive discussions where all questions are welcome. Join a circle of supportive, encouraging alumni who are glad to share tips and insight into the In-House world.

• Michelle Banks, UCLA Law Class of 1988, and co-chair of UCLA Law Women LEAD is EVP and Global General Counsel at Gap Inc.
