New for 2020, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officers will discuss their evolving roles, and how to create synergy for optimal compliance and risk management:

  • CCO vs. GC: To what extent the roles and responsibilities overlap
  • Should compliance be considered a separate function from legal?
  • Structuring your GC and CCO job descriptions based on key factors, including:
    • Company size?
    • Industry sectors?
  • Creating synergy and collaboration between legal and compliance:
    • Policymaking
    • Training
    • Legal and image of the company?
  • Varying GC and CCO approaches to investigations policies
