The NYSBA Corporate Counsel Section
was pleased to send a representative to the sixth Corporate Counsel Congress,
sponsored by Lexology and International Law Office. This event delivered a unique forum for the exchange
of ideas on risk management, horizon issues and geopolitical challenges for
many attorneys hailing from a variety of different countries, all across the
globe. All star panels were featured and
covered topics like protecting intellectual property across national borders,
anti-corruption, managing in-house careers, cybercrime, and more, and also
provided many opportunities for lawyers from every country across the globe to
exchange ideas and network with one another.
The event was capped off with a
black tie celebration at Cipriani’s in midtown, with several hundred attendees,
honoring those in-house legal teams and individuals that excel in their
specific roles, rewarding lawyers for demonstrable achievements across the full
spectrum of in-house responsibility, and not simply those who have acted on
high-profile transactions. Many
multi-national friendships and professional relationships were made and
solidified that evening!
