Companies planning to build or expand plants, build major pipelines, drill deepwater wells, or construct offshore facilities face many risks, both technical and non-technical. Builders and engineers address the technical risks. But dealing with local, state and federal regulators and politicians; NGOs; litigants; and other "stakeholders"--the non-technical risks--often falls to the general counsel and a team of lawyers, public relations folks, and others. Come hear three senior in-house lawyers identify these non-technical risks and how they tackled them in their projects. The panelists will also address how events outside of their companies' control--events such as the meltdown at Fukushima and the blow-out of the Macondo well--dramatically increase the amount of time that must be spent addressing non-technical risks.

Registration

14th Annual Conference of General Counsel

Mon, 07 May 2012 14:22:02 GMT

Once again, last year's Conference of General Counsel separated it from all other legal conferences. The audience of general counsel, managing counsel, and Forum underwriters and sponsors spent the day with 7 speakers in an intimate theater-in-the-round setting (click on the camera below to see pictures from the conference). Our keynote speaker-Adam Bryant-provided one of his first presentations about his new book, The Corner Office-a compendium of 63 interviews of CEOs regarding leadership. Conference participants recieved a copy of the book and had plenty of time to ask questions of the author. Our other speakers provided insightful presentations ranging from personal leadership performance, and how to manage a multigenerational workforce, to right-sizing a legal department. All of this in a compact day of networking with leaders of in-house legal departments and outside counsel, service and product providers. ...
