2:35 PM | Plenary Session - Don't Cross the Line: Balancing Risk and Ethical Challenges as a Business Leader and Strategic Partner
The role of the GC is to drive business while also preventing risk, but this can often create ethical challenges when it relates to compliance and much more. How can in-house counsel effectively advance businesses forward and drive change while also staying true to the skills they have been taught in law school to assess and manage risk without being seen as a cost center? In this session, our expert panelists will discuss the challenges GCs face specific to their responsibility to align risk appetite with workable solutions that keep the business compliant. We will take a deeper look into how to best balance ethical concerns associated with being a business leader and a strategic partner.
