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
