In partnership with the Association of Corporate Counsel (Victoria), Piper Alderman is pleased to invite you to an engaging panel discussion tailored for corporate counsel.

Managing stakeholders is an important part of the role of in-house counsel. Perhaps the most important stakeholder for in-house counsel to manage is the Board.

Join us as we explore this type of stakeholder management, board governance and the unique challenges faced by in-house counsel.

Our panel discussion will cover:

  • Legal duties and emerging risks for in-house counsel supporting boards
  • The complexities of dual roles—legal adviser vs decision-maker
  • Maintaining legal professional privilege in board settings
  • Navigating conflicts of interest and the lawyer’s ethical responsibilities

Why Attend?

This session will provide practical insights and illustrations of when Boards need their in-house counsel and guidance on what to do when difficult issues arise.

The presentation is open to all organisations, excluding other legal service providers.
