About the Program:
Today’s businesses are moving at a faster pace than ever before. Rapidly evolving technology, a largely global and remote work force, and drastic changes in the political, legal and regulatory landscapes,
make the role of in-house counsel vital for success. The most effective in-house counsel go beyond answering legal strategy questions, they help navigate complex ethical issues, respond to crisis,
or provide a different take on risk management, and creative solutions to new and evolving threats.
The 2024 NJSBA Corporate Counsel Institute will tackle some of the key issues that keep in-house up at night, and aim to provide pragmatic and actionable lessons that can be implemented by the
busy in-house practitioner. Join us!
