We are seeing a world in which the pace of change and disruption is causing the evolution of the role of the General Counsel and law departments. General Counsel are in a distinct position to anticipate change and guide their companies through the minefields of new technology, regulation, and social change from both a business and legal perspective. These challenges affect not only today’s companies but also a broad multitude of stakeholders and constituents. The Association of Corporate Counsel of Colorado (ACC) and NACD Colorado invite you to discover how the most proactive legal officers and departments are evolving beyond traditional practices, leading partnerships across the enterprise that identify and address expanded business risks and complex challenges arising in this new world.

In a combination of panel discussions and rotating breakout sessions, this fast-paced, extended program format will offer the opportunity for board members, ACC members, and NACD sponsors to engage in conversations on very topical governance issues facing boards from the headlines, emerging technologies, regulation and social issues. Panels and breakouts will include the following topics:

  • Why today’s General Counsel and law departments are evolving to the roles of strategist, oracle, operator and compass, and the impact and  benefits
  • Recognizing, analyzing and responding to surprising minefields in fiduciary obligations to a wide group of stakeholders, e.g., conflicts in law governing interstate business law; your duty as a director to know – or not; examples from the headlines
  • The pressure points in the relationship between the board and the GC: who does the GC represent and when; in-house and external counsel in the boardroom; conflicts, use of confidential information, privilege; relations with former directors
  • Artificial Intelligence in the boardroom: challenges and questions you never thought to ask. AI’s impact past and present in the board room; why Generative AI is different; regulatory, privilege and other boardroom issues

Join us for a fast-moving, fun, and information packed evening.
