Bloomberg BNA Live Events

Internal and external sources of risk have elevated the stakes that all business leaders must anticipate and mitigate. On October 4th, Bloomberg Law’s In-House Forum-East brings together leading corporate counsel to discuss the expanded role of the legal department to engage stakeholders across the business spectrum and the innovations in the legal departments that ensure positive impact in protecting and growing their businesses. Leveraging Bloomberg Law’s analysis and bringing together experts across the industry in New York, this forum provides corporate counsel the opportunity to focus on creating a strategy and culture that raises awareness of where threats come from and rapidly responds to investigations when they arise. As you network with peers, and hear from our speakers you’ll find insights on how to engage the executive team, prepare your legal team, and set up a risk management process that is innovative, responsive to the times, and anticipates the future threats.

Join your in-house peers at this forum, where your role as a corporate leader is paramount.Hear and share ideas on risk management while building new networks. 

Legal professionals rely upon Bloomberg Law for in-depth reporting on the latest developments in the law as well as for insights on the business of providing legal services. The Bloomberg Law In-House Forum provides an opportunity to share those ideas and engage with peers. 

The business of law is evolving rapidly – law school pipelines, alternative business models, rise of legal operations, pricing pressures, and emerging technologies are all impacting the industry and the various aspects of the business.  As diversity initiatives are woven into the business understanding the impact that these forces may have on these goals is critical. 

On November 8, Bloomberg Law will explore the various drivers that may impact the success of diversity and inclusion initiatives within the business of law. We’ll explore:

• The legal talent pipeline – are law firms set up to train and develop diverse talent? How might data help identify new opportunities for hiring, retaining and developing talent?
• The impact of new models of service – alternative business models, legal operations, outsourced legal services
• Emerging technology’s potential disruption – will enhanced data help further diversity goals, might automation and machine learning set us back in achieving greater equality and inclusion?

Now in its 4th year, Bloomberg Law’s Diversity Forum creates a forum to explore the barriers to diversity and inclusion, to identify solutions and to create accountability. This year, we will dive deeper and explore the various impacts that may threaten this movement, and how if harnessed correctly they may help.   This event will offer an opportunity to connect directly with your peers in a workshop format to formulate a plan to advance your own diversity and inclusion goals in light of today’s changing legal business landscape.
