From a participant in the London forum, "Launching New Technologies and E-Services: The Changing Role of Legal Counsel"
"I found the session most enjoyable and informative. I am comforted that General Counsel everywhere are obviously facing the same type of issues and developing the same tools for solving them. It is so beneficial to share these experiences with like-minded individuals in such a marvelously facilitated round-table discussion."
Nick Folland, Head of Legal and Company Secretary

From a participant in the Los Angeles forum, "Harnessing Your Company's Technology Resources to Increase Efficiency"
"Martindale-Hubbell put together a great mix of attorneys and corporate counsel from small and large corporations and law firms, and combined them with a phenomenal facilitator. The result was a truly open, productive exchange of information focused on industry best practices and practical technologies. It was a terrific event and I'm looking forward to next year."

From a co-chair from the Paris forum, "General Counsel as Knowledge Manager: A broader Look at Business Risk"
"It was an interesting forum of powerful players. I left with a renewed commitment to clarify with clients how we can best add value on each project. There are many approaches, so open communication is key."

From a Chicago forum participant and Washington, DC co-chair
"Martindale-Hubbell's Counsel To Counsel forums provide an opportunity for senior corporate counsel to interact with their peers and share ideas in a confidential environment about practical methods for delivering corporate legal services. Having attended these events as both a co-chair and a forum participant, I can tell you that in-house counsel walk away from the forums with a variety of potential strategies they can put to work in their own corporate law departments."

From a participant from the Brussels forum, "Balancing Local and Regional Regulations in a Global Business"
"I appreciated the openness of discussions both during the session itself and during the ensuing lunch. In a relatively short period of time, the difficult subject of regulatory compliance was analyzed from various angles and in a levelheaded manner. I thought the input from in-house and external counsel was particularly beneficial."
