2008 Annual Conference

In-House Lawyers as Leaders in a Global World
Becoming a Global Legal Manager: Developing the skills you will need to manage the legal department of tomorrow

1-3 June, 2008
Melia Castilla Hotel, Madrid, Spain.

Lawyers are - by nature of their profession—leaders, and in-house lawyers take very seriously their role as leaders within their organizations. The extent to which legal professionals are taking on senior roles in business is on the increase.

In today’s fast evolving environment in-house lawyers are called to fulfill a variety of roles with increased responsibility and accountability. They must inspire, motivate, develop the vision, the strategies and the processes, take considered risks, integrate different perspectives into solutions and have a sophisticated international perspective. Quite simply: to be Leaders in a Global World.

The theme of the 2008 conference aptly defines the content: “In-house lawyers as leaders in a global world” and each session will showcase the role of the in-house counsel as Global Legal Manager, addressing topics of great interest to the in-house profession.

To name but a few: The GC as a Global Leader, Product safety, Product liability, Managing a Transaction, Class Actions on the Horizon in Europe, Management and Leadership Skills (in two sessions: “the strategic thing” and “the people thing”) Data Protection, Company Law … and more.

ACC Europe's 2008 Annual Conference represents an unparalleled opportunity for in-house counsel to exchange valuable knowledge and expertise among peers and continue the dialogue that allows our association to strengthen the in-house profession in a pan-European and global perspective.
