The Women, Influence &amp; Power in Law (“WIPL”) Conference is the premier women in law event for in-house counsel, law firm partners, and legal executives. Designed for leadership development, networking, and career advancement, WIPL brings together more than 1,000 senior legal professionals to share insights on the most pressing challenges facing women in the legal industry.

Stephanie’s session, “Finding Solid Ground During Organizational Shifts: Leading Through Workforce Shockwaves and Disruption,” will take place on Tuesday, September 15, from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m.

Organizational shifts take many forms in today’s business climate, placing growing pressure on legal leaders at the center of decisions that carry significant legal, regulatory, and human consequences. From restructurings and layoffs to mergers and financial strain, the path forward is rarely clear, requiring legal to steady the business and guide leadership through imperfect options while balancing risk, workforce impact and external scrutiny. This session will examine how to support high-stakes workforce transitions with clarity and consistency, advising on decisions that affect not only cost and compliance, but also morale, reputation, and long-term stability. Panelists will share practical approaches to partnering with business leaders, aligning cross-functional priorities, and confidently steering organizations forward during periods of uncertainty.
