It has returned … and so have we!

More than just a legal event, the General Counsel Conference East empowers today’s legal leaders for growth, innovation, and excellence. Designed specifically for general counsel, legal executives, and industry professionals, the GCC East is the premier gathering that offers unique opportunities for learning, networking, and professional development.  With a description like that, combined with the fact that we’ve been there since year one of our launch, how could Legal Speak not be there doing live episodes.  This year, the conference moved to the beautiful Midtown Hilton in New York, a place we’re quite familiar with, as it’s been home to Legal Week for decades.

In this episode, host Patrick Smith sat down with Jennifer Contegiacomo, Vice President and & Chief of Staff at QuisLex
