Corporate Counsel Summit: Leadership is Action Not Position

Corporate counsel today must have an excellent understanding of the most pressing corporate legal issues, including governance and ethics, protection of their company's IP, privacy compliance, labor and employment challenges, regulatory developments and litigation management. To effectively battle these challenges, the leadership that General Counsel must now take has never been greater or more crucial. The Corporate Counsel Summit will provide attendees with the unique opportunity to be updated on these important legal developments and interact with the country's most experienced attorneys and legal service providers in a series of proactive one-to-one business meetings, conference presentations and informal networking. This is a superb opportunity to hear winning best-practice solutions from North America's leading Corporate Counsel, network with peers to tackle the common challenges faced by in-house Counsel in a variety of industries, and earn CLE credits (where available).
