  • Given the fast-changing legal landscape that corporations face and the dynamic role of corporate counsel, it is imperative that in-house counsel stay updated on the latest legal developments, as well as strategies for managing both the legal and business aspects of a corporate law department. This symposium will focus on a number of high-priority issues important for corporate counsel and the outside counsel who work with and advise them on hot topics in the areas of litigation, compliance and much more. A panel of in-house and outside lawyers will also address the issue of how to build optimal working relationships with one another, including best practices for managing budgets, meeting business expectations and assisting one another with the professional development of team members. The program will be followed by a networking luncheon for all participants.
