Fireside Chat with Bjarne P. Tellmann, General Counsel of Pearson plc
To mark this 50th milestone, we will have one of the most influential global leaders in law speak to us:
Bjarne P. Tellmann (Senior VP and General Counsel of Pearson plc)
I am thrilled that Bjarne will be joining us from New York for our fireside chat with him.
Our topic of conversation will be:
“Leading Legal Teams In an Age of Innovation and Disruption.”
As some of you know last October, we had a fireside chat in New York with Bjarne P. Tellmann (sponsored and hosted by Morgan Lewis). Many of our guests emailed afterwards to say that Bjarne was inspirational.
