Participate

Target group

GCN is exclusively for those who hold the position of ultimate responsible in-house lawyer in a medium-sized or large company in the Netherlands. This refers to those who report on the company’s legal risks to senior management and/or are part of it.

Although most General Counsel operate more and more as Legal Managers than as legal experts, the size of the legal department is not relevant for joining GCN. Of course, your nationality is not important; for foreign residents, we facilitate almost everything in English.

Do you have any concerns about whether you fit in the target group? Let us know and we will discuss this together.

What does participation entail

As a GCN member you can participate in all GCN activities free of charge, including three large national meetings and at least two local GCN peer-to-peer group meetings each year. The best way to easily meet many peers and get useful tips. All activities are announced well in advance and then it’s easy to sign up as soon as more details are available. The annual fee is currently EUR 915.- excl. VAT (year 2025). If you register in the month of July, August, September or October, the fee for the rest of the calendar year is currently EUR 475.- excl. VAT (year 2025). If you register in the month of November or December, participation is free for the rest of the calendar year, provided the membership is continued in the following calendar year. During the calendar year you are entitled to, among other things:
