The business world is changing at an unparalleled pace, as a result we have seen the role of the General Counsel change immeasurably. These days they are expected to be more than ‘just lawyers’ – they need to be business advisers, as a result strategic and commercial responsibilities are coming to the fore.
This year’s In-house Counsel as Business Partner has been designed by and for corporate counsel to help them in their journey to becoming a trusted advisor to the business. Through keynote presentations, case-studies and panel debates, the programme focuses on the commercial skills needed to be at the forefront of the business.
This unique conference will bring together 100+ in-house counsel to identify new working practices that will drive maximum value to the business and to equip themselves with the commercial skills needed to further their career.
The overall theme of the event will be:
Day one – ‘Stepping up – I want to be a General Counsel that adds value to the business’
Day two – Sessions in the morning will focus on: ‘Sharing the Business Partner Experience’. In the afternoon discussions will focus on: ‘Stepping Out – I’m a business partner, now what?’
Case studies, discussions and debates will be led by 30+ expert speakers including:
