‘General counsel are the most senior lawyers within internal teams and an increasingly crucial element within their companies. Their expertise spans commercial awareness, complex contract drafting, litigation management, managing legal resources, and implementing strong leadership and negotiation skills.

GCs provide integral support to the daily workings of legal teams, overseeing cases, advising on key issues and identifying problems before they potentially spiral out of control. However, life has suddenly become more interesting for GCs as the ever-growing role of artificial intelligence is adding yet another layer of complexity to their workloads.’
