The Executive Social: Topgolf for General Counsel

Many of a General Counsel’s hardest calls are made alongside the CFO. How much risk the business can carry, what a deal really commits you to, what the board needs to hear. It helps to talk those through with peers outside your own company, and with CFOs who see the same decisions from the other side.

Join Murray and Yvonne Newlands for a relaxed Friday afternoon at Topgolf with General Counsel from across the Bay Area, joined by CFOs from our CFO Forum. This is a small, informal gathering. No panel, no slides and no presentations. We’ll make introductions, then leave plenty of time for golf and conversation.

No golf experience is needed, and beginners are welcome. Come on your own, or bring your CFO along. They’ll just need to register too.

What to expect

• Time with fellow General Counsel who are working through the same pressures you are

• A chance to hear how CFOs think about the decisions you share with them

• Introductions from Murray and Yvonne, so you’re never standing alone at a bay

• A low-key way to end the week, with no pitching and no agenda to sit through

Who can attend

This page is for current, full-time, in-house General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers.

To keep the conversation peer to peer, this one isn’t open to fractional GCs, outside counsel, legal consultants, outsourced service providers or vendors. We review every registration and will be in touch to confirm your spot.
