Legal Week has launched the first in a series of video debates that will see senior in-house lawyers and partners discuss the key legal topics affecting clients.

What the briefings say… draws on the most popular briefings from Legal Week Law, the online library of law updates targeted at in-house lawyers. The videos are free to watch for users of Legal Week Law, which has attracted more than 15,000 registrations since its launch in March 2010.

The first debate is chaired by Jeremy Barton, the general counsel and head of risk management of Boston Consulting Group. Accompanying Barton on the first episode is National Grid senior counsel Ian Leedham, telecommunications company Intelsat's assistant GC Robert Cummins, Nabarro head of employment Julie Quinn and Ernst & Young assistant director Jonathan Maas.
