Opening the summit will be keynote speaker Cliff Rosenberg, the former founder and managing director of LinkedIn, Australia and New Zealand. In this session, Mr Rosenberg will explore the disruption occurring across the legal profession and how legal counsel can and should become more than simply the bearers of legal advice.
The first panel session of the day, discussing game-changing insights, is stacked with senior legal counsel, including Australian Red Cross Lifeblood GC and chief privacy officer Marion Hemphill, Programmed group general manager Anna Bagley, American Express Australia VP and head of legal Ryan Rayfield, and – having just been added – Google ANZ director of legal Shoshana Shields. The panel will share their views how in-house lawyers and teams can, among other things, protect the business from scrutiny, be proactive on risk management and increase operational standards.
Optus deputy general counsel Jakob Vujcic will also be featured at the summit, discussing how legal counsel must prepare for an evolving regulatory future. This session will see Mr Vujcic offer lessons from the European experience of GDPR and what Australian professionals must prepare for.
