THE SUMMIT CONCEPT

These and many more questions get answered with winning strategies…

The Grand Masters Summits have been an In-House Counsel dedicatedseries of knowledge and leadership platforms for the last 2 years now. Itaims at not only recognizing the best of the In-House Counsel of the countrybut also creating a brainstorming discussion ambience for the next-gen In-House Counsel.

The role of an In-House Counsel has been going through a paradigm shift inthe Indian Legal scenario. When it comes to internal processes, it hasbecome or should we say 'must become' a mandatory aspect for all the otherfunction desks to consult to the In-House Counsel. Moreover, it is no more a

back seated role that an In House Counsel functions with today. Needless tosay, that the In-House Counsel now is set to carve out a niche place in theBoard Room discussions as well. It is now unadvisable for the promoters toproceed with business decisions without the standpoint of the In-HouseCounsel. However, the Board Room is still miles away.

As far as external processes are concerned, there always remains a struggleto balance out the smooth functioning aspects in sync with the In-Houseteam of lawyers and of course the delivery cost behind. The other topicalissues discussed would be around the grey areas of The Companies Act,

Regulatory Issues, and Compliance & Risk Management and so on.The Grand Masters 2015 comes to you with a back to back summit series inNew Delhi, Mumbai & Bengaluru.
