Globally, the legal sector is facing a new period of upheaval as long-established norms around DEI and political interference have been shattered in the US, with significant extra-territorial effects. This, and other geopolitical shocks in an increasingly unstable world, threaten cultural cohesion, brand identity and stakeholder relations with firms' people, clients, regulators and other stakeholders. CMOs, chief client officers, heads of marketing and communications and other leaders have vital roles to play in shaping how their firms evolve to meet these new challenges, balancing often conflicting stakeholder needs and positions. This breakout session will explore these challenges, providing guidance on how they can be successfully navigated.
