Thriving As In-House Counsel: How to Use Well-Being as a Superpower

Event | 06.05.25, 5:00 PM CDT - 7:00 PM CDT | CLE Offered

Address

Crowell Chicago Office
455 N Cityfront Plaza Drive, Suite 3600
Chicago, IL 60611

Calling all dog lovers! Join us for a collaborative discussion on three dimensions of well-being and the superpowers they can provide, while engaging with therapy dogs from Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy!

Enjoy an evening of networking and thoughtful conversation around three dimensions of well-being and their corresponding superpowers: (1) individual well-being (superpower: sharper, more efficient, happier), (2) team-focused well-being (superpower: better retention, recruitment, and team work-product), and (3) external-focused well-being (superpower: stronger relationships with outside counsel for enhanced synergies and partnerships). 

We will serve mocktails for in-house counsel only, cocktails, and appetizers at our pre- and post-event reception, and will have therapy dogs on-site from Crowell’s pro bono client, Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy. Attendees can interact with the therapy dogs as much or as little as they like.
