6th Annual Fullstack GC Conference

Legal as a Source of Power and Speed
The best-performing General Counsel have entrepreneurial virtues. They’ve got a tolerance — even comfort with — uncertainty and ambiguity. They serve not only as calm and clear problem-solvers, but also as forward-looking thinkers with the agility to clear a path for future company success.

 
Join 250+ of your fellow TechGCs at our annual conference to discuss how we can be a source of power and speed for our companies.

 
*By invitation only. Limited to TechGC Charter Members. 4.0 - 5.0 CA/NY CLE Credits Pending.
