GCs Discuss Crisis Management, Investigations, Individual Accountability and ESG

The “GC summit” at the recent ABA Institute on White Collar Crime in San Francisco offered an inside look at how GCs of major corporations contend with crisis management and investigations, their views on individual accountability, their role in ESG matters, and their key concerns for the coming years. Alice Fisher, a partner at Latham & Watkins, moderated the discussion, which featured Matthew Friedrich, former GC of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation; Michael Holston, GC, senior vice president and secretary of General Electric; and Eric Lardiere, GC and senior vice president at Meggitt-USA Inc. This article synthesizes their insights.
