🌟 What an inpiring day in Oslo! 🌟

ECLA’s Roundtable Workshop: “Evolution of the GC Profession & Soft Skills” held at Equinor HQ was a resounding success — and a true testament to the future-facing mindset of today’s in-house legal professionals.

🗓️ 26-27 June brought together 17 General Counsel, legal leaders, and compliance experts from across Europe 🇪🇺 for a powerful mix of insight, strategy, and human connection.

🔍 Highlights Included:
✅ Thought-provoking keynotes on the evolving role of the GC
✅ Lively discussions on AI, leadership, and legal’s role in driving business strategy
✅ Advancements in communication skills, building personalities and becoming the most trusted advisor
✅ A hands-on workshop where participants co-designed the GC skill set of the future

We thank our speakers for their insightful contributions:
🗣️ Cecilie Kjelland (Statens pensjonskasse)
🗣️ Paul Fulton (Equinor)
🗣️ Marcus M. Schmitt (ECLA)
🗣️ Gemetchu Hika (Norsk Hydro)
