The responsibilities of general counsel have changed, and they are now expected to take on executive and leadership roles while continuing to deliver legal services in an increasingly complex environment.
To address this we have developed an exclusive conference to help you deal with the challenges of operating at an international level, while playing an integral role in supporting the business in which you operate.
The sessions will include the scope of the role, stakeholder engagement, resourcing issues as well as how to improve efficiency while continuing to deliver a high performance in an increasingly demanding role.
The format will be interactive, and General Counsel will have the opportunity to share best practice and knowledge through case studies, presentations and roundtable discussions.
Sessions will be facilitated by Stephen Hopkins, Head of Global Client Development at Eversheds along with guest General Counsel from leading multinational organisations.
Seminar | Reform of the French anti-bribery system and so-called Bill Sapin II
3rd of May – Eversheds Paris LLP | 8 Place d’Iéna, 75016 Paris | 18:00 – 19:30 followed by networking drinks
In response to constant criticisms by international organisations, France could not remain without reacting to the record sentences imposed on French companies abroad. The French bill known as “Sapin II” is intended to reform and substantially reinforce the French body of legislation about combating corruption.
The bill notably institutes an Agency known as the “Agence Nationale de Prévention et de Détection de la Corruption” (agency for preventing and detecting corruption), which shall have real powers of investigation and sanction, and an obligation to prevent the risks of corruption.
Cercle Montesquieu and law firm Eversheds Paris LLP would like to invite you, alongside renowned experts, to discuss the issues of this reform on combating corruption, as well as the impact of the reform for companies based in France.
