3:30 PM - 4:30 PM | Closing Plenary - Making Coherent Decisions from Conflicting Advice: The GC as Chief Synthesis Officer
General Counsel are no longer just legal advisors—they’re the ultimate integrators of insight across legal, business, risk, and reputational domains. In an era where conflicting guidance from internal teams, external counsel, and regulatory bodies is the norm, GCs must act as synthesis officers, distilling diverse inputs into clear, strategic decisions. This session explores the art and discipline of making judgment calls under pressure, balancing nuance, and leading with clarity in complex environments.
