The role of General Counsel is evolving. GCs require dynamic tools and effective horizon scanning to enable a strategic outlook and to stay abreast and ahead of the pace of change in an ever-evolving environment. In response to these challenges facing GCs (in particular in financial services), UK Finance is presenting quarterly peer learning sessions.

GCs from across UK Finance's Members will be able to discuss current/upcoming challenges, evaluate opportunities and problem-solve. GCs will also have an opportunity to receive timely and relevant insights from UK Finance policy teams as well as have access to government spokespeople and key subject matter experts on various topical matters, all within a confidential setting.

This network will convene as a series in: October / November / December
