Join LLG for our Leadership Conference, designed exclusively for lawyers and legal teams working within local government.
With ethics in local government at the heart of this year’s programme, the conference will explore the challenges facing those working in senior and leadership roles, including how to navigate difficult decisions, competing pressures and increasing expectations while maintaining professional standards and public trust.
The programme will bring together experienced lawyers, senior local government professionals and specialists to explore the ethical, legal and practical challenges of leadership, with a focus on real-world situations, professional judgement and the issues that can arise when the right course of action is not always straightforward.
Topics are expected to include:
Ethics and professional responsibility in local government
Ethical decision-making and navigating difficult situations
Leadership under pressure and managing competing priorities
Maintaining professional independence and integrity
Conflicts of interest and managing ethical boundaries
Political and organisational pressures
Accountability, transparency and public trust
Speaking up, challenging decisions and handling difficult conversations
Managing risk and making defensible decisions
Ethical leadership and organisational culture
The role of the Monitoring Officer and wider legal team
Standards, conduct and professional responsibilities
Leadership challenges arising from financial and resource pressures
AI, technology and emerging ethical issues
Current and emerging challenges for local government leaders
The programme will be developed closer to the event to ensure it reflects the current challenges facing local government, with practical sessions and discussion around the ethical dilemmas and leadership issues delegates are likely to encounter in their roles.
