1970 was a big year for Peter Bevan, BP Amoco’s group general counsel – it was the year he qualified. It also happened to be the year Lloyd’s of London’s director of legal services Sean McGovern was born. But while Bevan has 30 years’ post-qualification experience (PQE) to McGovern’s precocious six, the pair share an almost evangelical zeal for the rewards of working in-house.
Neither has looked back over the fence into private practice and coveted what they saw, and read-ing between the lines, both seem to suggest that the in-house lawyer is an altogether more rounded professional. They do not say as much, but you understand: neither got where they are today without being a consummate diplomat.
