AI is reshaping legal work. This panel tackles who should control it, what must stay human, and how to innovate without compromising lawyers’ duty to clients and the rule of law.
How Legal Wins in the C-Suite
The best GCs and CLOs are strategic leaders driving business outcomes. This session explores how to navigate the boardroom, turn risk into your friend, and create true business value.
Resilience Is Not the Goal
“Be resilient” is the mantra—but what if it’s a lie? This candid conversation uncovers how the profession fuels burnout and explores new ways to define success, leadership, and wellness in law.
