June 9 | Integrity Under Pressure: The GC’s Tightrope Between Values and Value
8:30 a.m. GMT | London, UK
Join us for a panel discussion on Tuesday, June 9, convening senior legal leaders for a candid conversation on one of the most consequential and least clearly defined aspects of the modern GC role: ownership of corporate integrity.
The conversation will examine how legal leaders navigate ethical pressure, escalation, and organisational expectations when values and commercial realities collide. Aligned with the 2026 theme of our Global Knowledge and Networking Series, ‘Achieving Balance in a Polarised World’, the discussion will be led by:
- Caroline O’Connor, Chief Legal Officer, Zayo Europe
- Clare Wardle, ex-General Counsel and Company Secretary, Coca-Cola
- Nilema Bhakta-Jones, Award-Winning Executive, GC, CEO, COO, NED
- Kim Morgan-Verlaque, FTSE General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer
Together, they will explore the fault lines between legal counsel and executive decision-making, examining where the GC’s remit ends and how accountability is shared across the CEO, the Board, and the wider leadership team.
We look forward to welcoming you to a focused and thought-provoking discussion.
