5:45 PM

What Legal and Compliance leaders would never say about the field in public.

  • Five topics that every leader knows intimately but rarely sees discussed:
  • The signature that keeps me awake at night. The fear of being held personally liable for a decision made by the company, even though my personal tax identification number (CPF) is the one I'm trying to blame.
  • The risk that was left off the slide. What is softened, postponed, or omitted when the report goes up to the board.
  • AI: The distance between the ideal and the real. The governance that the area aims for and that the structure allows — and the size that the legal department will have in five years.
  • The investigation changes pace. The weight of hierarchy when the person under investigation is in high leadership.
  • How much is the position worth, and how much does it cost? Remuneration, career ceiling, and what one has to accept to stay in it.

6:15 PM

Awards ceremony for the TOP 50 Executives of the Year.

  • Recognition of 50 Legal and Compliance leaders selected through a curatorial process. No popular vote: analysis based on case studies, pioneering work, and concrete results.
