Good afternoon,
On 1 December 2011, I organized our very first Talk for the *Lawyers’ BD Club* in London. It’s so hard to believe that’s 13 years ago now. The time has just flown by. I’m sure a lot has happened for all of you since during that time. For me, there have been a few changes on both the career front and personal front (got married to Sinead and now have two beautiful daughters – Eva and Sophie). I also re-located to Dublin in 2019 after almost nine fun and happy years in London.
Since 2011, I’ve organized Talks, General Counsel Summits and Fireside Chats in London, Dublin, Paris, Dubai, Boston, New York and San Francisco. In addition, we have also organized a series of small and exclusive GC Private-Dining events in London, Dublin and New York. Not forgetting (well almost did, thanks Kay Pang for the reminder on Linkedin!) the annual lawyers’ photo competition which saw lawyers from 20+ countries submit photos in our competitions over the years. I hope to resume the photo competition again in 2025.
Now heading into our 14th year, I’m very excited to be planning some exciting events for 2025.
General Counsel Summit
Our next event will be a General Counsel Summit in Dublin.
It will be held on Tuesday 28 January 2025 from 12 noon to 3.30 pm.
We will be joined by a number of influential GCs for a series of fireside chats.
More details to follow.
Nominations: Rising Stars
At our Summit, we will also have a panel of “Rising Stars” – in-house lawyers that will be excellent GC’s of tomorrow.
I’d be very grateful if you could nominate an in-house counsel based in Dublin whom you believe is a Rising Star. (Email: colin.carroll@empowermentinternational.com)

Many thanks,
