ABOUT THE CORPORATE COUNSEL SYMPOSIUM

The Corporate Counsel Symposium (CCS), presented by the SMU Rowling Center and offered in conjunction with the SMU Law Review Association, brings together general counsel and attorneys from companies nationwide. The one-day symposium joins in-house and outside counsel together with judges and regulatory agencies for a survey of legal developments and best practices. The Symposium features panel discussions and speakers addressing timely legal issues that affect in-house counsel and the companies they advise.

FEATURED SPEAKERS

Our keynote speakers are Eunice Nakamura, SVP and General Counsel, Texas Rangers Baseball Club; and Michael Considine, Partner, Kirkland and Ellis.

Eunice and Michael will discuss the ins and outs of legal practice in a professional sports organization.
