Welcome to the 2nd Corporate Counsel Exchange™

Following on from the great success of the Corporate Counsel Exchange™ in the Hague 2009, we are excited to announce the 2nd Corporate Counsel Exchange™ taking place in Brussels, April 2010. Now recognised as the premier event for General Counsels across Europe, this event is the perfect platform for those looking to establish their role as a strategic business partner within their organisations.

As legal cost control continues to dominate the headlines, General Counsels commitment to developing strategic and innovative spend management methods has been growing by the day. It has become imperative to remove the risk of reactionary spending and work towards aligning legal team resources to meet key business goals, both internally and externally. How are GC’s delivering the value that CEO’s and CFO’s expect from their legal department? Have legal departments really emerged in the post-economic crisis with streamlined and agile infrastructures?

The Corporate Counsel Exchange™ offers a perfect setting for senior legal professionals to debate, network and understand effective business strategies at a level that befits their role. This exclusive, invitation only event tackles challenges and helps find solutions through a serious of conference sessions, roundtable discussions and one-one-one meetings with pre-selected service providers.

Feedback from the 2009 Corporate Counsel Exchange™. Leading GC’s highlighted the following as key priorities for them and the development of their legal departments throughout 2010.

87% need to improve Legal Spend Management.
77% are looking to find effective Knowledge Management processes
75% have to focus on improving relations with Outside counsel
70% are dedicated to improving Litigation Management and e-Discovery
70% want to explore Outsourcing opportunities with LPO’s
