Strategic Counsel. Intentional Action. Enduring Impact.
Balboa Bay Resort & Club
June 19, 2025
Set on Juneteenth, a date that honors freedom through perseverance and progress, this year’s convening centers on the quiet force and visible excellence of General Counsel and Senior Corporate Counsel. With today’s complex terrain — legal, cultural, and political — the modern legal leader must navigate not only statutes and stakeholders, but also identity, innovation, and influence. This gathering is not about labels. It’s about leadership — legal mastery, strategic foresight, and the enduring value of integrity in high places.
Here are just a few of the sessions:
- “Leveraging AI” reminds us that excellence isn’t afraid of technology — it leads in its ethical, powerful application.
- “Provisional Remedies” reclaims a classic legal tool, symbolizing both defense and progress — freedom through mastery.
- Building the Pipeline, Widening the Path to the Legal Profession
- Lunch/Keynote Fireside Chat: Beyond the Acronym
“Rules of Engagement Without DE&I” explores how leaders move with purpose, even when language changes.
