Session 3—The Resilience Check Up: Agility, Resilience, and Perseverance in Practice

September 22, 2021 | 3:30 pm-4:15 pm EDT

“Agility,” “flexibility,” pivoting,” “adapting”—are these the buzz words of the day or the core tenets of any business model?

A panel of legal experts will provide a roadmap to how to set yourself up for success regardless of the challenges faced—whether a global pandemic, political instability, economic downturn or….

And we will address such questions as:

• Are legal teams prepared to adapt to significant changes to their organization’s business model?
• Does your legal team have the legal knowledge to provide nimble advice and guidance to help businesses navigate these changes?
• Does your legal team have the tools to pivot in their responsibilities to deal with pressing legal issues that may be outside traditional trademark legal responsibilities?
• Is technology being leveraged to enable you to do your job anywhere?
• Best practices for successful collaboration between legal, communication, and business teams to successfully navigate changing norms.
• Will your strategy and actions succeed in the court of public opinion?

Find out where you stand after your “Resilience Check Up” and understand the dos and don’ts to help you come through with flying colors!
