Last week, Chicago was host to an enlightening assembly of legal minds at the General Counsel Conference Midwest 2024. The event garnered a significant attendance of senior level in-house counsel from various multinational companies in the US.
At the center of discourse was Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Davis, a valued Mergers and Acquisitions partner at Burke, Warren, MacKay & Serritella, P.C in Chicago, Illinois. Her experience and reach within the industry commanded the attention of the conference floor.
Legal Speak’s esteemed co-hosts, Cedra Mayfield and Patrick Smith, took to the stage to facilitate engaging discussions among the assembled professionals. The intent was to inspire conversation and innovative thinking around some of the key issues facing today’s general counsel.
The sessions delved into how general counsel can effectively manage and leverage C-Suite relationships to their advantage, devise strategies to counter a litigation crisis, and achieve more with less resources at their disposal. Such topics are both timely and relevant, reflecting the challenges and the paradigm shifts in today’s corporate landscape.
