Corporate Counsel Forum Middle East 2013

Corporate counsel are operating in an ever changing business environment, where organisations are having to adapt and pre-empt the impact of shifting market demands. Coupled with external pressures are the internal pressures of driving growth and strengthening legal as a performance hub.

In this post downturn environment, in-house lawyers are under more pressure than ever to reduce spending on external counsel and bring more work in-house. In addition to this, corporate counsel are having to mitigate against new risks and manage debt recovery whilst not stifling new business deals, acquisitions and joint ventures.

Now in its fifth year, Legal Week's Corporate Counsel Forum has established itself as the premier conference for in-house lawyers across the entire Middle East. Over one day, speakers in a mixture of panel debates, small group discussions and workshops will equip delegates with practical knowledge and real case studies that will be directly relevant to their jobs.

This elite gathering of Middle East legal leaders and leading policy makers will facilitate discussion and debate at the very highest level.

The Legal Week Corporate Counsel Forum Middle East is attended by leading general counsel, senior in-house lawyers and chief executives primarily based in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar as well as EMEA legal directors based in the United Kingdom, Europe and across the Middle East.
