CLOC Moderated Programming at the GC Summit
Fireside chat. The talent vacuum: who becomes the next GC?
As senior staff retire, institutional memory is walking out of the door. As AI causes junior pipelines to shrink, fewer lawyers are being developed in-house. Are companies relying too heavily on lateral hires? Who is building strategic judgment early in a lawyer’s career? And what happens if not enough lawyers in the next generation are ready to lead?
Panel. Leading beyond legal: creating business value
Legal departments have long been measured by the risks they prevent. But the most effective GCs are now being judged by the value they create. Hear how GCs are building legal functions that drive real business value.
