Overview (Program Summary)
In-house legal teams face increasingly volatile issues like data breaches, insolvency, rapidly-changing regulatory landscapes and complex geopolitical events. When crisis knocks, how do legal teams maintain composure and provide clear, principled guidance?
At this intimate roundtable lunch, explore the strategies in-house teams are undertaking as crisis command: from pre-crisis preparation, to real-time response to post-crisis value creation.
Seats at this event are limited to 15. Please RSVP as soon as possible to secure your place.
