Description
The role of the General Counsel is evolving quickly. New technologies, broader mandates, heightened regulatory expectations and increasing business demands require legal leaders to protect the organization while helping it move forward. In this two-part session, General Counsel from across the life and health insurance industry will share practical perspectives on responsible risk-taking, legal’s role as a strategic partner, the impact of AI and the future of the legal function. The discussion will then turn to action, with a live panel focused on what legal leaders and their teams should do differently in response.
