Corporate Counsel Forum (Lead)

Description

General Counsel (GCs) are responsible for much more than providing legal advice. They can act as lawyers, risk managers, compliance officers, business advisors and more. Geopolitical developments, environmental changes, macroeconomic conditions and technological developments are all relevant to today’s GCs, not just changes to laws and regulations, and as a consequence, they frequently have disparate teams reporting to them. Our panel of experienced GCs and outside advisors will discuss some of the most important trending developments that affect companies of all sizes, from generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the effects of wars, trade tensions, environmental threats and economic challenges.
