The US General Counsel Summit is set to bring together the country's leading legal experts to discuss emerging trends and challenges shaping the industry in 2023. The event is organized by marcusevans Summits and will be held from September 10-12, 2023, at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa, San Diego, CA, USA.
The US General Counsel Summit is a must-attend event for General Counsels from a range of industries seeking to exchange insights and knowledge about the latest legal developments. The conference will include panel discussions, case studies, and interactive sessions designed to foster collaboration and networking among participants.
This year's event will feature outstanding sessions by experts in the legal field, including Eric Pesik – Seagate Technology, Gavin Grounds – Meta, Mark Smolik – DHL Supply Chain Americas and Sean Haney – Jazz Pharmaceuticals. They will address some of the most pressing issues General Counsels face today, such as navigating regulatory compliance, managing risk, and protecting the organization's interests in the evolving legal landscape.
According to industry experts, emerging trends in the General Counsel industry in 2023 will include an increasing focus on cybersecurity and data privacy, as well as a renewed emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. For example, Cybersecurity remains a crucial issue for companies, with data breaches resulting in damaged reputations, hefty financial penalties and elevated costs. Legal professionals are investing more in legal technology, adopting best practices for information transmission, document storage, and maintaining cybersecurity. This is no longer only a concern for tech companies as even traditional industries, such as Corporate Real Estate, are catching up and investing heavily in upskilling their teams. Obtaining certifications is also becoming a priority for legal teams, as seen by Christopher Y. Chan, who now leads Jones Lang LaSalle's APAC legal department. He had his attorneys take the IAPP CIPP/E exam to elevate their knowledge and better identify cybersecurity risks, which was a successful move.
General Counsels will also need to remain vigilant about the impact of new laws and regulations and the changing dynamics of the global economy, which could create new challenges for businesses.
Furthermore, at US GC Summit participants will have the opportunity to learn from top legal experts, share best practices, and exchange insights on the latest legal developments. The Summit will provide attendees with actionable strategies and tools to remain ahead of the curve.
Finally, the Summit will include private one-on-one meetings and roundtable discussions, where General Counsels can connect with their peers and engage in meaningful discussions about the evolving legal landscape. This provides an opportunity for solution providers to showcase their latest offerings to a captive audience of General Counsels.
