General Counsel Summit 2019 | Connect Media | 30 April 2019 | Swissôtel , 68 Market St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

Change is erupting across the in-house landscape. Leaps in automation, intense commercial competition, and mounting exposure to cyber-attacks have created significant volatility – but there is opportunity in the chaos. General Counsel are assuming greater strategic responsibility and commanding new influence across the corporate and government hierarchy.

Celebrating its 6th year, the General Counsel Summit is the most significant event for in-house counsel in the region. Hosting the most esteemed legal minds from all sectors of the national economy alongside international thought-leaders, it is the optimal platform from which to formulate strategies and unlock the competitive edge to lead and succeed in 2019.
