ABOUT THE EVENT
This virtual roundtable brings together prominent GCs from large, publicly-traded companies to tackle the questions shaping the future of business and law. From the challenges that keep executives awake at night to the promise and pitfalls of artificial intelligence, the conversation will move across boardrooms, law departments, and government arenas, uncovering how GCs are adapting in real time. Attendees will hear candid insights on the evolving role of in-house to outside counsel, the responsibility of boards in governing emerging technologies, and the ways legal teams are building resilience and optimism in a fast-changing environment. The program will conclude with a lighter reflection as panelists share the “superpowers” they wish they had to meet the demands of today’s complex world.

ACGC 2025 Master Class
“Governance Master Class:
Special Committee Practice in Transactions & Litigation”
Submission deadline is Monday, October 6, 2025
Send to info@amgovcollege.org
We are pleased to announce that the College will offer a complimentary, in-person Master Class from approximately 8:45 am until approximately 1:30 pm on November 6, 2025 at Hunton’s office at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166.
One of the benefits of your membership in the College is the ability to nominate a more junior colleague in your organization or a client to attend. This event is intended for lawyers practicing in the governance arena who have potential to become future leaders in the field and is designed to recognize their development in the field, provide exposure to the experience and insights of experienced Fellows on cutting edge issues in counselling boards of directors, and help foster relationships between practitioners in the governance area.
This year’s session will be an interactive discussion examining the role of special litigation, demand review, and transaction committees in managing risk, ensuring independence, and strengthening board governance.
This year’s program will be co-chaired by Steven M. Haas, Partner, Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP, and Greg V. Varallo, Partner, Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP. They will be assembling a group of speakers including defense-side and plaintiffs’ attorneys regularly involved in advising or litigation board committee matters to speak to this important and current topic.
We encourage you to nominate a lawyer in your organization or a client to attend this exclusive, invitation-only program by October 6, 2025 by sending your nomination and the nominee’s CV to info@amgovcollege.org. Each Fellow may nominate one colleague. If additional spaces become available, we will call for second nominations until we reach capacity.
Attendance to this year Master Class is complimentary and lunch will be provided. We plan to offer CLE credit in most states through a law firm sponsor.
Our prior Master Classes have been well-attended and well-received, and we believe this year’s program will fill up quickly. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.
