Takeovers, mergers and restructurings can quickly make the organisation itself the main source of risk. For legal leaders, this often means tighter timelines, shifting power and increased personal exposure. This panel looks at how GCs lead through structural uncertainty, when roles, reporting lines and decision‑makers are changing. The discussion will focus on how legal leaders maintain authority, exercise judgement and support the business when outcomes are unclear. Panellists will share how organisational change reshapes the GC role, how to lead teams without all the answers, and what it takes to remain effective and credible as the organisation evolves.
