About the Program
In an era of volatility and rapid change, the role of general counsel and corporate secretaries has become increasingly vital in equipping boards with the insights and strategies they need to navigate instability. This program is specifically designed to address critical areas of change and instability such as litigation implications of the supreme court tariff ruling, recent SEC rule changes, legal policies and governance guardrails around artificial intelligence adoption, the impact of geopolitical tensions on corporate strategy, heightened cybersecurity risks, and overall risk management.
Speakers will offer actionable insights to effectively guide boards through issues during times of uncertainty that intersect with broader corporate governance challenges.
