The second day of Corporate Counsel’s 26th annual General Counsel Conference continued the examination of an important theme: How are the roles of general counsel today different than they were a decade, or even just a few years, ago? The authors of an upcoming book, “The Generalist Counsel: How Leading General Counsel Are Shaping Tomorrow’s Companies,” delivered a keynote address explaining how the position has changed, and how many prominent general counsel drive their own success.

The authors, Prashant Dubey, president and CEO of the Sumati Group, and Eva Kripalani, senior corporate counsel at FEI Co., conducted extensive research on general counsel and conducted interviews with prominent individuals in the profession. Each had some helpful advice to impart, some of which Dubey and Kripalani shared at the New York City conference. The authors concluded that the GC role has evolved to make today’s general counsel more multifaceted: they are no longer merely head attorneys.
