The Corporate Counsel Symposium 2023 is an annual event organized by the International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC), designed to address the major issues facing inside counsel today. This symposium provides a platform for in-house counsel and their law firm counterparts to engage in education and discussion on the latest legal challenges affecting global companies.

Key topics covered during the symposium include strategies for effective legal holds in the era of mixed-media communications and personal devices, updates on the evolving landscape of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues, and navigating the complexities of remote and hybrid work environments. Sessions also delve into the considerations for companies deciding whether to take stances on political and social issues, as well as providing updates on recent Supreme Court decisions and their implications for various industries.

The event offers ample networking opportunities, including receptions and luncheons, allowing attendees to connect with peers facing similar challenges. Notable speakers include leading scholars and experts who provide insights into recent cases before the Supreme Court and explore issues facing the Court in 2023 and beyond.

The symposium is ideal for in-house counsel, senior executives, corporate compliance officers, and outside counsel seeking to stay informed on current legal issues and trends. Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to gain knowledge together and spend time with others who face similar issues, enhancing their professional development and expanding their professional networks.
