The Metro New York chapter’s 3rd annual General Counsel Forum once again attracted a capacity crowd of legal marketing professionals.
This year’s GC Forum, held on October 23 at the NYSSA, featured three top in-house counsel from leading firms in three major New York industries, all of which were greatly impacted by the recent recession - Real Estate, Financial Services, and Accounting:
- Jason Greenblatt — EVP & Chief Legal Officer to Donald J. Trump and The Trump Organization
- Edward Holmes — General Counsel and Senior Managing Director of AIG Investments
- Scott Univer — General Counsel, WeiserMazars LLP
Aric Press, Senior Vice President and Editor in Chief at American Lawyer Media moderated the panel, as he had the two previous GC Forums.
The 2014 GC Forum focused on the theme of “What Keeps (GCs) Up at Night?” The panelists tossed and turned over a wide range of issues impacting law firms and their business development efforts including: relationships, communications between the client and outside counsel, law firm fees and billing arrangements, staffing, timeliness, familiarity with varying regulatory laws around the world, data storage, and marketing materials.
