OVERVIEW |
| |
|
|
|
How effective is
your legal department in adding value to your business? |
|
|
With
increased cross-border transactions and inbound
investment opportunities at every corner, in-house
lawyers need to constantly ensure that they remain
legally astute while commercially-minded, able to
anticipate risk throughout the organisation while
growing the company's bottom-line. Doubled with
forecasts of an imminent double-dip recession, the
pressure is on for legal counsel to make the right
tactical decisions that will enable the company to
thrive in a highly competitive global playing field. |
|
|
|
Can you keep abreast with the latest legislation
& challenges in the legal & regional business arena?
Do you want to effectively integrate your legal
strategy with your enterprise strategy?
Are you adequately equipped to handle potential
contentious claims for and against the company? |
|
|
|
Join us at this two-day conference and gain
actionable insights on strategic legal issues with
critical business implications like building a
forward-looking law department, conducting a
litigation fire drill and dealing with recent
antitrust & competition issues in Asia. Hear from
experienced corporate counsel of leading
corporations like eBay, GE Capital,
PricewaterhouseCoopers,
Marriott International, Symantec, Deutsche Bank, Jones Lang LaSalle
& Transpacific IP and more as they share proven
methodologies on pertinent issues like risk
