Date & Time Wednesday, 21 June 2023

Location Rose Court, London

Foot Anstey is excited to be participating in the 2023 Retail Week General Counsel Summit, the leading conference for senior legal professionals who work at retailers and brands. A fantastic event for retail legal leaders to come together to share vision, strategy and opportunity.

Alexandra Hammond, Partner in our Commercial and Retail & Consumer teams, will lead the panel discussion - Legal leaders of tomorrow: The importance of nurturing EQ. Modern leadership is increasingly about empowering colleagues to fulfil their potential and supporting their personal development rather than imposing top-down control. Nowhere is this more evident than in Retail Week's Future Leaders list, which features many up-and-coming retail bosses who display high levels of EQ as well as IQ. So how can legal's future leaders follow suit? Joining Alexandra on the panel is General Counsel and Company Secretary of The Bestway Group, Rabiah Sheikh Khokhar, Former General Counsel and Company Secretary of Asos, Anna Suchopar, and Interim Head of Legal (Dispute Resolution) UK & ROI of Specsavers, Lisa Wallis.

Join Alexandra and our panel of experts as we find out how you can cultivate and encourage emotional intelligence in your emerging top legal talent, and the benefits that will bring to your business.

Retail Week General Counsel Summit 2023 looks set to be a full day packed with engaging and topical panel discussions, an incredible speaker line-up and plenty of opportunities to network with your peers across retail.

If you have any questions or wish to arrange to meet during the event, please get in touch with our Head of Retail & Consumer, Nathan Peacey, who will also be attending the event, or Alexandra Hammond.

The event is free for retailers to attend.
