VIRTUAL GC/CLO Summit: The General Counsel’s Role in Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging

Attention all GCs and CLOs!  Join our Diamond and Emerald Sponsors for our 3rd Annual GC/CLO Summit where we will discuss the GC's/CLO’s role in Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging, followed by a social hour.  The Summit's sessions are specifically designed for and open to General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers only.

The educational part of this event will be followed by a virtual social hour, and the Chapter will be donating $100 per social hour attendee to the Philadelphia Bar Foundation to support our Chapter’s Diversity Internship Program.

AGENDA:

• Session I — 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. — Diversity in the Boardroom presented by Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP
  
  This session will consist of a panel discussion among a Chief Diversity Officer, in-house counsel and outside counsel that will address the unspoken reasons for our current board landscape, different types of diversity, the legal requirements and other stakeholders pushing to increase diversity, and steps some companies have taken to try to lead the way forward.

BREAK: 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

• Session II — 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. — The General Counsel's role in Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging presented by Dechert LLP
  
  This panel will explore the ways in which General Counsels and their in-house attorneys can promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within their own law departments.  Specifically, the panel will explain how stakeholders, boards of directors, and the public will demand that companies prioritize DE&I, especially given the role of DE&I in the Biden administration.  The panel will discuss racial equity audits, which are now becoming common in government, as a critical tool for companies to use to identify issues and minimize litigation risk, and share specific strategies that companies are using to build up their DE&I programming.

BREAK: 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

• Session III — 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. — Driving Innovation, Creativity, and Effective Strategy:  The Positive Impact of Diverse Teams on Addressing Trends in Litigation and Government Enforcement presented by Cozen O'Connor
  
  Diverse outside counsel teams drive innovative, creative and effective representation in litigation and government enforcement matters.  Diverse teams also cultivate rich and rewarding partnerships with in-house counterparts.  The panelists look forward to sharing their personal experiences as leaders of their practice groups and law department, and highlighting current consumer protection litigation and enforcement trends that GCs/CLOs should take note of for 2021 and beyond.

BREAK: 5:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

Social Hour — 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
