The International Corporate Counsel College brings together in-house counsel and their law firm counterparts for education and discussion on the latest legal issues affecting global companies. The event is modelled on the highly successful IADC Corporate Counsel College that is held each year in the United States. This distinctive meeting format creates an intimate environment, providing the opportunity for in-house counsel and their advisors to gain knowledge together and spend time with others who face similar issues. The IADC is pleased to invite you to the annual International Corporate Counsel College in Istanbul on 26 - 27 September 2024.
Who may attend?
The event is designed primarily for in-house counsel, corporate compliance officers, and senior executives of corporations. Outside counsel also are welcome, and are encouraged to invite one or more in-house counsel.
