Elevate Legal Talent

Good roundtables don’t happen by accident. They’re designed. At our UK Global Knowledge and Networking Series, the discussions created space for candid, practical exchange on key challenges facing legal and cybersecurity teams. Feedback like this from Tom Exelby reflects what we aim to deliver – conversations that are both thoughtful and immediately useful.

‘Volatility is not the problem. Governance is.’ In the final article of this series, Paula Forbes and Vaishali Patel examine why many organisational failures arise not from uncertainty itself, but from governance structures that separate authority, accountability, and decision-making. The piece also explores the evolving role of the general counsel as a strategic leader at the intersection of risk, operations, and business growth.

General Counsel are increasingly operating where legal risk, political context, and business impact converge. On June 4, Elevate brings senior in-house leaders together in Washington, D.C. for ‘GCs at the Intersection of Law, Politics, and Power’, a candid discussion on what leadership looks like when the stakes are high and the path isn’t clear. With Nury Turkel and Amy Yeung, we’ll explore how GCs navigate politically sensitive environments, manage competing regulatory demands, and decide when to influence quietly or step forward. 📍 Washington, D.C.  📅 June 4 | 6:00 p.m. EST Register now: https://lnkd.in/gTWxp7vK. #GeneralCounsel #LegalStrategy #InHouseCounsel #LegalLeadership #RiskManagement #ElevateEvents #GlobalKnowledgeAndNetworkingSeries

On Thursday, May 21, in Melbourne, Elevate will convene a select group of General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers for a private roundtable dinner as part of our Knowledge and Network Series. Featuring Theo Kapodistrias, Damien Coleman, Alison Huitfeldt GAICD, and Fleur Katsmartin, the discussion will focus on how GCs and CLOs are navigating increasingly complex and often competing expectations across boards, executive teams, regulators, customers, and the broader community. These dynamics are increasingly shaping how decisions are made in practice, requiring a careful balance between commercial outcomes, risk, and organisational values.

Yet many board recruitment processes still prioritise experience and ‘fit’ over independence, scepticism, and the willingness to challenge. In Part 2 of this series, Paula Forbes and Vaishali Patel examine why recruitment often favours credentials over the qualities that enable effective oversight, and what organisations should be looking for instead.
