Speakers include: Vanessa Candela, Chief Legal and Trust Officer, Celonis Rob Morvillo, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Olo Danielle Sheer, Chief Legal and Trust Officer, Commvault Moderated by Andrew Dick, VP of Strategic Initiatives, The L Suite ??

The L Suite hosted its first gathering of GCs and Legal Ops professionals on March 5 in San Francisco. Thanks to the power of our members, the event sold out long in advance and enabled open, transparent, and informative dialog. Overheard at the event: ?? “The opportunity to have so many GCsS and Legal Ops professionals at the same table discussing these problems from their different lenses, it just felt like such a critical learning opportunity for me.” ?? “I think the small group sessions have been very beneficial. I feel like people are being very open and vulnerable talking about their wins and losses. You know, hearing what looks like a win and what looks like a loss from a GC’s perspective is giving me valuable knowledge.” ?? “The community has been instrumental to my career growth. It's provided me with the opportunity to network with a group of senior Legal Ops professionals.” Thank you to all the members who came out and so openly and generously shared with and supported their peers:?

Looking forward to leading this roundtable session, together with Raj Mahapatra, at the The L Suite (TechGC) 2025 Euro Summit on Wednesday. In an era defined by rapid change and complex challenges, the role of the General Counsel has evolved from legal advisor to strategic architect. The conference, ‘GC as Architect: Anchoring Success, Building Resilience’ will explore how today’s legal leaders can design resilient frameworks to navigate uncertainty, drive growth, and fortify their organisations for the future. In this session, we’ll be exploring a common theme for GCs – dealing with an ever-increasing workload, while resources may be limited, and with life going on in the background. Managing this balance is integral to performance and leadership. We’ll focus on actionable insights and practical strategies for coping, resilience-building, and supporting your team. Before the session, I'd love to hear your thoughts and strategies - whether you're a lawyer or not ?? * This is a general title for the session and not a personal reflection of my current working environment ?? #LSuite #TechGC #leadership #legal #growth #resilience #success

Had an interesting conversation with Alan Smith and a group of GCs about building and retaining high-impact legal teams. We talked about strategies for ensuring ongoing professional development, succession planning challenges, what happens when individuals top out within an org, and when to build out your team versus when to leverage outside counsel. Thanks to The L Suite (TechGC) for providing a forum for us to discuss these important topics. It’s always helpful to learn what others are doing. The collective wisdom is a tide that lifts all boats. #PubGCOffsite #legaltalentstratgies #lsuite

Amid skyrocketing legal fees and mounting competition from AI and legal tech, the need for law firms to differentiate and demonstrate outsized value has never been greater.

Join us on April 2, 2025 from 12:00 - 1:00pm ET in this exclusive webinar, What GCs Want from Their Outside Counsel, where a panel of seasoned General Counsel will share candid feedback and insider tips for what companies want from their law firms. Attendees will leave with a playbook of practical tips and success strategies for how they can: ?? Meet and even over-deliver on client expectations; ?? Better align their advice and processes with the broader business strategy of their clients; and, ?? Build trust and long-term partnerships with their clients. ? This event is for any #law firm associate or partner who wants to stay ahead of client expectations and win more business. For full event details and to register, visit: https://lnkd.in/eKjuWR6Y #GC
