PANEL DISCUSSION: THE ENDGAME ANALYSIS – EVALUATING THE HEALTH OF YOUR LEGAL & COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT
Jim Webb -
EVP, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer,
Continental Resources
Kristin Seabrook - Chief Legal Officer, Global Partners LP
Jason Conn - Deputy GC & Deputy Chief Compliance Officer, Comcast
Ricardo Nuñez - EVP, General Counsel & Secretary, NCR Atleos
As legal and compliance functions continue to take on more strategic responsibility, General Counsel and compliance officers must be able to also demonstrate the effectiveness of their programs. Evaluating your tools, systems, and processes goes beyond counting tasks completed – it requires understanding which metrics actually reflect risk reduction, and business value. This session explores how to build meaningful KPIs, identify the right data to monitor, and create dashboards that provide real insight into workload and performance. The aim is to identify the trends to continuously refine your program and communicate impact to the wider organisation.
- Learn how to select metrics that reflect true program effectiveness, such as issue resolution trends, policy adoption, risk indicators
- Understand key tools for evaluating whether current platforms reduce friction, enhance visibility or support compliance and legal goals
- Gain practical guidance on structure dashboards that clearly communicate performance and risks to the leadership and the board
9:30 am - 10:00 am
PRESENTATION: CALCULATING THE NEXT MOVE - HOW TO REDEFINE LEGAL IMPACT IN THE AGENTIC AI ERA
Matt DenOuden -
SVP, Chief Evangelist,
Onit
Kim Wolfe - SVP – CAO for Legal, State Street Bank
Leveraging AI successfully remains tricky within legal departments. So, what of measuring its impact? Traditional legal efficiency models have historically helped lawyers understand the value of their work and articulate real ROI to management and the board, albeit with its fair share of challenges. Throw AI into the mix, and suddenly it becomes a lot more complex – this session will examine how generative and agentic AI are upending traditional models and give you the tools to begin to build the metrics you need to understand its weight and prepare your organisation for transformation.
- Discuss why traditional KPIs and efficiency models like Six Sigma fall short in a legal environment driven by AI, and what can replace them when outputs are intangible and variable (such as enhanced decision-making)
- Explore the impact of a workforce populated by both humans and AI agents, and how to find metrics that can measure both succinctly and efficiently
- Delve into the importance of “measuring the right stuff”, and how you can take note of the “before” so that your “after” outcomes can be developed and improved upon
Today’s General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers sit at the centre of an increasingly intricate gameboard, balancing the needs of the board, the expectations of shareholders, and the realities of a corporate landscape where pressure points can shift overnight. Effective governance is about anticipating moves, understanding the motivations of key players, and positioning the organisation to stay resilient and strategic, providing clear guidance for leadership in a corporate environment that is fast-changing and increasingly complicated. Join this session focused on strengthening influence at the board level and navigating shareholder dynamics with clarity and confidence in an effort to evolve the role rather than simply react to emerging challenges.
- Discuss how greater clarity around board priorities, decisions, and documentation can strengthen leadership conversations and strategic cohesion
- Explore emerging patterns in activism and investor engagement, and how legal teams are positioning themselves to minimise organisational disruption
- Delve into approaches for maintaining compliance while balancing the evolving priorities and expectations of both the board and shareholders
Please note: this hour-long Think Tank is designed for Fortune 200 CLOs and General Counsel only and will operate under Chatham House Rules.

Kristiyan Assouri -
Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer,
Tutor Perini Corp
Michael Stefanini - Chief Data Officer & Director of Artificial Intelligence AI, Tutor Perini
As data privacy obligations in the US become increasingly fragmented and demanding, General Counsel and Compliance Officers are under constant pressure to understand exactly what data their companies hold, where it lives, how it moves – and how well it is protected. With state-by-state privacy regimes and expanding, legal departments need clear, operational guidance, not just on compliance, but on how to structure, govern, and safeguard data across the business. Hearing directly from a Chief Data Officer offers a rare and practical perspective on how to classify sensitive information, build defensible data practices, reduce risk exposure and strengthen the company’s overall privacy through better data management.
- Learn the ins and outs of mapping, classifying, and structuring your data to identify vulnerabilities and improve your privacy framework
- Discover the key ways of governing data in order to reduce legal, regulatory, and breach risks, and the different strategies to achieve this
- Gain techniques for working cross-functionally with IT, data and privacy teams to ensure defensible documentation and readiness for audits or regulatory inquiries

PANEL DISCUSSION: FAIR AND SQUARE – HOW GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICERS SET THE ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR A COMPANY
Emmanuel Ayuk -
EVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary,
The Andersons
David Kass - SVP, Deputy General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Verizon Communications
Jeannie Henry - Vice President & Deputy General Counsel - Chief Compliance Officer, NiSource
Global and internal pressure, politics and reduced budgets are challenging the most resilient of organizations in 2026. In this sense, the role of the General Counsel has evolved far beyond simple legal interpretation and contracts. The General Counsel today is the ethical strategist, the moral compass, the one who reads the board and senses risks others may overlook or choose to ignore. They must position the company in the correct way and make decisions that maintain credibility and long-term stability. Ethical clarity is no longer a sidenote – it’s a strategic asset in high-stakes environments, and in this sense, being able to navigate this moral grey area is a skill that can no longer be cast aside.
- Hear from General Counsel about how they are proactively addressing and mitigating the reputational risks of ethical missteps
- Learn how to prioritize ethical challenges across regions, identifying where moral risks intersect with operational risks, and ensuring the company stays aligned
- Explore practical frameworks for turning principles into clear guidance, empowering teams to act consistently
- Delve into the notion of the “acceptable” in the corporate world, and how evolving societal expectations are reshaping right and wrong
