The role of the chief legal officer continues to expand in order to accommodate the growing complexity of today’s business environment. No longer is subject matter expertise adequate to respond to the pressing – and often conflicting – needs of the global organization. In this session, we will explore how to manage the complexity inherent in commercial transactions – managing a remote deal team, regulator interface and ensuring the legal response is aligned with the business outcome. Come prepared to share a best practice or sample case with your colleagues.
