Corporate Litigation Forum

The Chief Litigation Officer’s role has never been more complex or demanding. In addition to managing ever-increasing caseloads, CLOs are regularly expected to provide broader strategic guidance for the legal department, as well as the whole business itself. In order to perform his or her duties effectively, today’s CLO must bring to the job strategic leadership, accompanied by an entrepreneurial mindset. Moreover, in order to manage risk effectively in an era of ever-tightening budgets, CLOs must be intimately familiar with the broad realm of cutting-edge technology and proven best practices designed specifically for our challenging times.

Consero brings together the legal industry’s leading corporate practitioners to participate in high-level discussions to develop best practices in the field. Solution providers chosen for their best-in-class services, market ingenuity, and leading reputations will enhance these dialogues by providing solutions to critical business issues.
