Guarding the Corporate Reputation: How In-House Counsel Can Protect – and Shape – One of its Most Valuable Assets

-
+

Event Description

In today’s business environment, reputation is an asset that can shape everything from stock price and customer loyalty to talent retention and market standing. When a crisis hits — be it a regulatory action, congressional inquiry, or high-stakes litigation — the organization’s reputation can prove as consequential as the outcome itself. For in-house counsel, this means legal decisions cannot be made in isolation. They must be informed by broader business, operational, and stakeholder considerations that together define how the company will be judged in the court of public opinion.

 

Join us on Thursday, November 13 at 12:00 PM ET as Robert Gemmill and Megan Gabriel of ChangeMakers US, explore how legal teams can lead cross-functional collaboration to identify and evaluate risks, align internal stakeholders, and build strategies that protect — and even strengthen — corporate reputation in moments of uncertainty.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Learn how reputational risk intersects with litigation, investigations, and regulatory actions.
  • Discover how to apply real-time, data-driven reputation measurement to inform legal and business decisions.
  • Understand how in-house counsel can serve as facilitators of cross-functional alignment across communications, finance, and operations.
  • Identify the key questions every legal leader should ask when assessing reputational exposure.

Who Should Attend:

This session is designed for in-house legal professionals responsible for managing litigation, regulatory investigations, or enterprise risk — including General Counsel, Deputy GCs, Legal Operations leaders, and Corporate Communications liaisons who play a role in strategic decision-making.

 

There is NO COST to attend this program! 

This program is FREE thanks to our gracious sponsor, Changemakers! If you can’t make it to the live program, the recording will be available for viewing via our paid CLE library, In-House Connect On-Demand!
