Intellectual property has become one of the most powerful drivers of enterprise value—yet many GCs feel they are brought into IP conversations too late, or only in transactional moments. This Circle Dinner will explore how today’s GC can proactively shape, influence, and operationalize an effective IP strategy across the business.

Over an intimate dinner, we will discuss practical, real-world approaches to:

• Developing a cohesive IP strategy that aligns with business priorities

• Managing patents, trade secrets, and trademarks across a growing international portfolio

• Supporting product, engineering, and business teams in embedding IP thinking into day-to-day operations

• Understanding emerging risks, diligence trends, and the evolving role of IP in M&A readiness and valuation

Whether your organization is product-based, service-driven, data-centric, or operating in a traditional sector, every GC plays a role in safeguarding and maximizing the value of the company’s intellectual assets. This conversation will blend strategic insight with tangible practices relevant across industries and company sizes.

Space is limited to foster a true roundtable discussion.

To attend this event you must be a member of The GC Collective. It's free to join for the first six months, and you will gain access to a powerful knowledge-sharing network of senior legal executives and unique peer-driven learning opportunities aimed at elevating your leadership.
