The world is becoming an increasingly complex and volatile place in which to do business. The landscape has changed and many of the old certainties have been replaced. But what are the challenges faced by the General Counsel (GC) and what do they need to overcome in order to move their businesses forward? Join us at The General Counsel Conference 2010 where you, along with over 100 of the UK's most influential General Counsel, will hear from thought-leaders on business, economics and leadership - what has worked, what hasn't worked, how technology i changing the face of business; how tools such as social networking and cloud computing are creating new opportunities but also carrying risks, especially legal ones - and how you can reinvent your role as a focused strategic partner in order to help your business succeed. This year you'll debate pertinent issues through our interactive formats - debates, interviews, workshops, case studies - from Robin Bew, Editorial Director and Chief Economist setting the scene with an economic outlook and providing key trends - to Todd Stitzer, former CEO and General Counsel of Cadbury providing a keynote presentation on "Principled Capitalism". You will also hear from a board member of a major multinational on what their new expectations of General Counsel are and what they are expected to deliver.
