ILO Global Counsel Congress, The Grand Hyatt, New York, June 14 2012

The annual ILO Global Counsel Congress is truly global, with speakers and in-house counsel delegates attending from all over the world. The aim is to encourage the sharing of expertise and experience across borders, and to give attendees the opportunity to exchange knowledge and insight with high-profile speakers including general counsel at multinationals and regulators.

The 2012 programme is currently being developed in conjunction with an advisory board of senior international counsel. It will cover critical issues for those advising businesses internationally, including:

• Information governance: taking control.
• Global regulation: managing the risks.
• Managing the legal team: navigating uncertain times.
• Anti-bribery and corruption: effective compliance.
• Alternative legal service providers: an ethical minefield?
• External counsel: getting value.
• Knowledge management: share and share alike.
• Work area roundtables: cross-border concerns in M&A, competition, intellectual property and
       employee benefits.
• New session announced – Potential Eurozone failure: are you prepared?

Recently confirmed speakers include:

• Pedro Vale Gonçalves, Director, Legal Affairs, Pfizer Portugal 
• Noah Hanft, General Counsel, Chief Franchise Integrity Officer and Corporate Secretary, MasterCard
• Mohd Shah bin Hashim, Head of Legal, Nestlé Malaysia

Other than a few carefully selected sponsors, this event is open to in-house counsel only.
