Dec 7: ALM Transatlantic General Counsel Summit
Leigh Dance will speak at two sessions in New York on December 7th: Agility & Resilience: How General Counsel Weather Big Change Global corporate counsel find that agility and resilience are important skills in these times of change and uncertainty. Transatlantic GCs deal with brewing crises, technology disrupting business and legal service delivery, volatile geopolitics affecting regulation and reputational risk, diverse stakeholder needs, helping their teams manage stress- while also managing their own careers responsibility. At this session, four global legal/compliance leaders will discuss what agile and resilient means to them, and how they succeed. They'll share what works as they initiate, manage and respond to change.

Investigations, Litigations and Regulations: Risk Management in Your Transatlantic Trade Our expert panellists will start by providing an overview of the realities and differences on both sides of the Atlantic when a corporation is faced with (potentially simultaneous) investigations or litigation in the US and Europe. The discussion will assess how the organisation can best address transatlantic regulatory inquires and disputes that spin into crisis, including: keep management focussed on advancing the business, manage the distractions of producing evidence, testifying, and having matters play out in the public eye.
