On Wednesday, September 15th, associates and of counsel from Womble Carlyle’s DC and Tysons Corner offices will host GC Roulette, a unique speed networking event for upcoming leaders in the legal industry, at Zola in Washington, DC, from 5-7:30pm.
 
During this event, new to in-house lawyers and other upcoming leaders in the legal industry will have the opportunity to network with leading general counsel from the DC-area legal community, including:
  • Curtis Schehr, Former Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of DynCorp International Inc. and Anteon International Corporation, and President, WMACCA
  • Judy Sapir, Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary, APCO Worldwide
  • Manik Rath, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, LMI

  • Dean Manson, Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary, Hughes Communications, Inc.
  • Jennifer McGarey, Vice President, Human Resources & Acting General Counsel, RCN Corporation
  • Tom Hickey, General Counsel, Primus Telecommunications Group, Inc.
  • Ona Dosunmu, General Counsel, The Brookings Institution

The event's speed networking format will give each attendee the opportunity to interact directly with each participating general counsel, providing an opportunity for dynamic discussions and candid insight into the in-house practice of law.

In this fast-paced format, several key career development issues will be covered, including:
  • Effective leadership;
  • Communicating the value of your legal team to your Board and executive management team;
  • Deriving the most value out of working in-house;
  • Best practices for in-house legal departments and law firms to work together to achieve business success and to build lasting relationships;
  • Designing the legal department of the future;
  • And other tips for success from experienced general counsel.
This event aims to build professional, trusted relationships among upcoming leaders in the industry.  We hope this event will also help better align the needs of corporate legal departments with services provided by the in-house and law firm attorneys who serve them.
