How Do GCs Influence Strategy When Geopolitics Rewrites the Rules?
Description
General counsel have become the most critical strategic voices in the organisations. They are now expected to interpret geopolitical signals, anticipate cross-border disruptions, and advise on issues that are not purely legal but fundamentally commercial. This session explores how legal leaders can shape strategy when the rules are constantly being rewritten - and how they can help leadership teams navigate uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
