Participate and registration
Target group
GCN is exclusively for those who hold the position of ultimate responsible in-house lawyer in a medium-sized or large company in the Netherlands. This refers to those who report on the company’s legal risks to senior management and/or are part of it.
Although most General Counsel operate more and more as Legal Managers than as legal experts, the size of the legal department is not relevant for joining GCN. Of course, your nationality is not important; for foreign residents, we facilitate almost everything in English.
Do you have any concerns about whether you fit in the target group? Let us know and we will discuss this together.
