The ALB 2020 In-House Survey offers respondents the chance to win a Fitbit Ionic Smartwatch. Please take the survey HERE.

With 2019 drawing to a close and 2020 beckoning, this is an ideal time to gauge the mood of Asia’s in-house lawyers, who form such an invaluable part of ALB’s readership, as well as find out about the challenges they’re facing.

With this in mind, we’re carrying out the ALB 2020 In-House Survey, a survey of in-house counsel and purchasers of legal services that examines how 2020 looks for them in terms of need for legal services, and how external counsel can adapt to meet their needs.

Selected respondents will also be invited to offer their opinions on the trends revealed by the survey.

If you are an in-house counsel, we invite you to take the survey here. The results and insights from the survey will be published in the January/February 2020 issue of ALB.

The deadline for this is Dec. 20, 2019. Please email ALBEditor@thomsonreuters.com if you have any questions.
