The current recession has affected all executive functions and the corporate counsel’s office has not been spared. A new assortment of challenges has joined the existing set of matters that compete for the in-house counsel’s attention.
It is against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2009 Chicago Corporate Counsel Leadership Forum. The event will bring together approximately 100-125 individuals including the legal leadership of public and private large cap and mid cap corporations, as well as complementary areas of executive leadership (CEOs, CFOs & COOs), in addition to select members of the advisory community. The forum will address a number of topics including, but not limited to: the general counsel’s role in driving ethics and integrity, anti-trust issues around hostile takeovers, controlling frivolous lawsuits and creating a viable legal culture.
Please note that the limited seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. This event is by invitation only, and an invitation code is required. If you did not receive an invitation but would like to inquire about attendance, please click here.
