IICJ Conference 2013 - London
The 8th edition of the Corporate Counsel & Corporate Compliance Exchange 22nd – 24th April 2013, London, United Kingdom

The 8th edition of the Corporate Counsel & Corporate Compliance Exchange will once again bring together forward thinking General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officers from across industries and geographies. Regulators, legal and advisory firms and technology providers will be in attendance to discuss how legal and compliance leaders can help drive business growth whilst navigating their organisations through the global legal and compliance minefield.
The 2013 Expert Speaker Panel Includes:
• Andrew Garard, General Counsel, ITV
• Monica Risam, General Counsel Europe, Aviva
• Patrick Baeten, General Counsel, GDF SUEZ Energy Europe
• Andrew Kidd, Director of Legal, Specsavers
• Philip Green, Group Corporate Affairs Director, Meggitt
• Elaine Mays, Chief Compliance Officer, Wood Group
The growing number of global and national regulations and the more proactive approach of the authorities, coupled with the unsettled political and economical climate and rapid social media growth make your role in safeguarding the company against risk more challenging than ever. Added to this are pressure from your board to increase internal efficiencies and the drive to align legal and compliance departments with wider business needs. There are solutions and technologies available to help you reach these goals but it is hard to justify the investment and measure what benefits the solutions could bring in terms of cost and time efficiencies.
By attending the Corporate Counsel & Corporate Compliance Exchange, you will benchmark with senior legal and compliance peers to ensure your company’s assets and reputation are safeguarded in the global marketplace. Attend keynote presentations on the latest legal and compliance developments, participate in interactive roundtable discussions with other General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officers and select from a wide range of leading solution providers and law firms to build your own, personalised itinerary of business meetings at the event.
Get in touch at exchangeinfo@iqpc.com to request your invitation to join this premier gathering of legal and compliance leaders.

Fact: The deadly cost of ignoring big data: $71.2 Million in lost revenue per year
