GENERAL COUNSEL Predicting the November 7Th 2019 Unpredictable London GENERAL COUNSEL Predicting the November 7th 2019 unpredictable London @EconomistEvents generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC Exhibitor Sponsor Bronze Sponsor Host Sponsor Official venue Accredited by INTRODUCTION GENERAL COUNSEL 2019 Predicting the unpredictable November 7th, 2019 • London Preparing for the future has never been more challenging. Brexit negotiations drag on, and even when completed they will leave businesses in uncharted territory. Identifying potential threats and future concerns seems little more than educated guesswork. At the same time, new technologies continue to be rolled out, changes in law must be implemented and challenging new scenarios have brought an advanced level of complexity to ethical decision- making. For its 16th year, The Economist Events' General Counsel conference sets out to find compelling solutions to meet the changing expectations and mounting demands faced by in- house legal departments. The conference will address issues including: • Dealing with the impact of Brexit on your business • The conflicting demands of multiple regulators on business operations • Ethical conflicts and decision-making • Understanding your CEO’s vision of the GC’s role • Predicting what to expect in the next decade Network with more than 160+ general counsel and senior business lawyers from leading organisations. Hear from your peers through a series of panel debates and presentations. generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC SPEAKERS OUR EXPERT SPEAKERS INCLUDE • CIARAN FENTON, Leadership Consultant • EMMA BATE, Director of Legal Services, Information Commissioner's Office • FIONA WOOLF, Former Lord Mayor of London (2013/14) • PHILIP BRAMWELL, Group General Counsel, BAE Systems • MICHAEL PLUMBRIDGE, Managing Director, Head of Regulatory Change, ICBC Standard Bank • DAVID BATESON, Senior Vice-President, Legal, Intellectual Property, Privacy and Sustainability, Canon • AMY WALLACE, General Counsel, Onfido • STUART CLARKE, Director of Legal Services, Scottish Enterprise • HELEN MAHY, Chairman, TRIG • TESS KELLY, Head of Legal, Bank of England • ALISON KAY, Group GC and Company Secretary, National Grid • MARK MAURICE JONES, UK General Counsel, Nestle • DAVID SAUNDERS, Financial Services Regulatory Partner, Eversheds Sutherland • CLARE WARDLE, General counsel and company Secretary, Coca-Cola European Partners • OLIVER CANNING, Chief legal counsel, NBCUniversal International generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC SPEAKERS OUR EXPERT SPEAKERS INCLUDE • RUTH PEARSON, General counsel, Lendinvest • CHRISTIAN FAES, Co-founder and chief executive, Lendinvest • CAROLINE TSAI, Chief legal officer and corporate secretary, Western Union • LAWSON CRAWFORD, Director of legal affairs, UCL Business PLC • NEIL LAVENTURE, Vice-president, Legal GSK Consumer Healthcare EMEA and Joint Venture Legal Integration Lead • THOMAS MEIERS, Chief coordinator, Volkswagen Group Monitorship • STEPHEN LERNER, General counsel and director of regulatory affairs, Three UK • BEN STANSFIELD, Partner, Gowling WLG • JOHN FERGUSON, Director of Global Forecasting, The Economist Intelligence Unit • ANDREW PALMER, Business affairs editor - The Economist • CAILIN BIRCH, Global Economist, The Economist Intelligence Unit generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC AGENDA 08.00 REGISTRATION 09.00 OPENING REMARKS 09.10 GLOBAL ECONOMY BRIEFING FROM THE ECONOMIST How have the current and past year’s events affected the global and European economy, and what is to come in 2020? How is the in-house legal system affected? The Economist Intelligence Unit presents the latest analysis of how businesses are responding to shifting dynamics, and a forecast of what’s in store. JOHN FERGUSON, Director, Global Forecasting, The Economist Intelligence Unit 09.30 BREXIT: A LOOK INTO THE ABYSS Another year of political uncertainty has passed. Whether it’s a new deal or no deal, no one knows what the deal is with Brexit. Boards expect the general counsel to play a pivotal role in scanning the horizon, making decisions and planning for Brexit. In-house counsels need to keep abreast of the potential consequences for their company. Data privacy and transfer, employment, trade tariffs and banking regulations are all likely to present complex new challenges. What contingency plans have been triggered and are proving successful? What’s the best communication strategy for navigating this unpredictable landscape? What will the biggest challenges be for GCs as the Brexit battle rages on? STUART CLARK, Director, Legal Services, Scottish Enterprise MARK MAURICE JONES, UK General Counsel, Nestle generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC AGENDA 10.10 DATA BORDERS: CONFLICTING DEMANDS The C-suite consistently turns to the chief legal officer or general counsel for guidance on new regulations impacting their business. Data breaches and protection of corporate data have been causes for concern for many years now, but the growing number of countries developing their own data-privacy rules are complicating life for companies that operate across borders. This panel discussion examines the challenges in adhering to multiple regulation bodies across different countries. MICHAEL PLUMBRIDGE, Managing Director, Head of regulatory change, ICBC Standard Bank DAVID BATESON, Senior Vice-President, Legal, intellectual property, Privacy and Sustainability, Canon EMMA BATE, Director of Legal services (Policy & Commercial), ICO STEPHEN LERNER, General counsel and director of regulatory affairs, Three UK 10.30 A VIEW FROM THE TOP: A CEO’S PERSPECTIVE As the role of the general counsel continues to evolve year by year, we ask a FTSE 100 chief executive officer what they expect from their legal team. What are the qualities they hope for in a GC? Are there areas that a GC should avoid when dealing with the business? What are their top tips for dealing with a difficult board? CHRISTIAN FAES, Co-founder and chief executive, Lendinvest RUTH PEARSON, General counsel, Lendinvest 10.50 FOCUS AND PRODUCTIVITY The general counsel is used to juggling multiple tasks. Whether it’s ensuring the company’s GDPR policies are fully effective or keeping an eye on political decisions that will change the course of operations, the GC’s attention is often pulled in several directions. Concentrating on the task at hand is becoming increasingly difficult. What are the key methods for focusing, and how can they help increase your productivity? CIARAN FENTON, Leadership Consultant 11.10 NETWORKING BREAK generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC AGENDA 11.55 ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING: THE CONSCIENCE OF A COMPANY General counsels are often touted as “the conscience of a company”. The in-house lawyer is commonly called upon as an ethical safety-net for challenging decisions in corporate practice. However, the decisions a GC makes can have serious consequences for the lives of others, and this can take a toll on the GC’s mental health. Where can GCs seek guidance? How do you decide between protecting the brand and doing “the right thing”? Should the GC be tasked with this burden? And with artificial intelligence and autonomous technology reshaping business practices, how can the GC stay on top of new kinds of ethical dilemma? PHILIP BRAMWELL, Group General Counsel, BAE Systems CLARE WARDLE, General counsel and company Secretary, Coca-Cola European Partners THOMAS MEIERS, Chief coordinator, Volkswagen Group Monitorship 12.30 USING AI TO MITIGATE RISK: A RISK IN ITSELF? Today’s in-house legal teams must be well prepared to face challenges from inside and outside their organisation. Risk analysis is time-consuming, and predicting the future is difficult. Artificial intelligence is often touted as a solution to these problems. But are its risk-assessment capabilities overstated? Can we trust AI to do such an important task? Where should businesses invest their money and time—in more human resources, or in AI technology? AMY WALLACE, General Counsel, Onfido 12.45 THE CLIMATE IMPERATIVE Some predict that the next decade will bring increasing legal jeopardy to businesses that fail to address climate dangers adequately. As well as activists hoping to increase awareness, states and cities are filing suits to claim damages for current and future losses due to climate change. This could pose a significant risk to companies and their insurers. Is your company exposed to a potential lawsuit? What measures need to be taken now to avoid this new category of liability? NEIL LAVENTURE, Vice-president, Legal GSK Consumer Healthcare EMEA and Joint Venture Legal Integration Lead BEN STANSFIELD, Partner, Gowling WLG 13.20 NETWORKING LUNCH generalcounsel.economist.com #EconGC AGENDA 14.40 A CELEBRATION: 100 YEARS OF WOMEN This year marks the centenary of the passage of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act, which permitted women to practise law in the UK. This session celebrates how far women in law have come, and casts a critical eye over how what still needs to be changed. FIONA WOOLF, Former Lord Mayor of London, 2013-14 14.55 DIVERSITY, INCLUSIVITY AND DISCRIMINATION Businesses need to be leaders in encouraging inclusivity and diversity, and eliminating discrimination; indeed, many say it is core to the success of a company. As firms look to support progressive policies, general counsels are taking on a leading role in driving this evolution. What do companies expect from their in- house law team? True diversity and inclusivity comes from the board, but how can GCs push these values up to the top? The gender pay gap is high on many agendas, with some companies beginning to

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.
