When the shit hits the fan: the role of the GC in internal incidents and negative publicity
Reputation issues (internal or external) can cause a lot of stress for senior management. What role do you play then as GC; how do you prevent it, what do you do about it if it does happen and what do you learn from it? We will exchange views and share experiences on this.

Increasing regulatory pressure: how do you manage this?
During this Roundtable, we discuss how to deal with a sharp increase in regulatory pressure, more active regulators and the danger of naming and shaming. What role do GCs take in the organisation in the face of complex new regulations. And what to do when budgets remain the same, but the company’s risk profile does not change either?
