Navigating Risk & Responsibility in a Shifting Global Landscape

Join the In-House Counsel Section for an engaging panel discussion on navigating risk and responsibility in an increasingly uncertain global landscape. We look forward to hearing from Heidi Schedler, KC, Kate Hopfner, and John Hope on this panel, which will be moderated by CBA-NS President Abha Romkey. This discussion will include consideration of emerging global risks and their impact on in-house counsel, strategies for managing legal and ethical responsibilities, and practical approaches to risk mitigation in dynamic environments. 

The panel discussion will be followed by a networking reception with light refreshments. We look forward to kicking off 2026 with this opportunity to connect with the vast network of in-house practitioners in Nova Scotia!
