GENERAL COUNSEL NL ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2023
Governance in unseen crises
How do you act as GC?
In most cases, companies and General Counsel have Governance and associated frameworks in order for ‘ordinary’ crises. But as the person ultimately responsible for Legal – and increasingly for sustainability and/or climate change issues – how do you act in the best interests of your company and stakeholders in the face of one unknown and unprecedented crisis after another that is now upon us? Many familiar frameworks are being eliminated and that can be challenging for General Counsel who, as very senior lawyers, are actually used to defining the frameworks for the companies. So, how do you best position yourself as GC now?
- Date: Thursday 30 March from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
- Location: Groot Kievitsdal country estate in Baarn
- Keynotes: Pauline van der Meer Mohr and Mark Tuitert

Rudy van Beurden
Day chairman
On 30 March, we will be guided through the programme by experienced day chairman Rudy van Beurden. He studied Architecture at TU/e, but already spent more time there on his final presentations rather than on his floor plans. And as blood is thicker than water, he became a professional talker. Over the past 11 years, he hosted numerous programmes, where he met extraordinary people and gained valuable insights. This easy-going Brabander with rolling R looks forward to meeting you in Baarn.

We open the day with none other than Pauline van der Meer Mohr, Chair of the Corporate Governance Code Monitoring Committee and one of our country’s most distinguished (Chief Executive) Members of Supervisory Boards.
