In the heart of Chicago, senior in-house counsel from multinational companies across the U.S gathered for the General Counsel Conference Midwest 2024. Among the bustling crowd was Betty Jang, founder and general counsel of BYJ Law, who served as a panelist on “Operating in the Gray: Balancing Risk Tolerance with Business Objectives”.
Legal Speak co-hosts Cedra Mayfield and Patrick Smith took advantage of the extensive knowledge present at the conference, interviewing professionals from broad sectors of the legal industry. A key focus was on exploring practical solutions and insights that may assist today’s general counsel in their multifaceted roles.
- Fostering and optimizing C-Suite relationships was a recurrent theme, reflecting its importance in the day-to-day operation and strategic directions of organizations.
- Tackling a litigation crisis was also placed under the lens, with participants sharing strategies for not just surviving, but successfully navigating these challenging situations.
- Significantly, discussions delved into how resources, often spread thin, can be stretched further to maximize both impact and efficacy.
Drawing from the experiences and expertise of attendees like Jang, the conference presented a thought-provoking opportunity for learning and networking alike.
