The General Counsels Forum is open exclusively to the most senior legal officers among NRF's retail membership. This forum provides members with the opportunity to share strategy and ideas for addressing cutting-edge legal and management issues of concern to retail law departments.
The forum provides certificates of attendance for CLE, when applicable, to help members seeking credit from specific state bars. The forum also connects members with law firms that can offer CLE credit.
Meetings
The General Counsels Forum convenes through the NRF Workforce & Operations Benchmarking conference call on Mondays and Wednesdays and meets at in-person events, including NRF’s annual convention and expo, held in New York City each January, and the annual Retail Law Summit.
Eligibility
The NRF General Counsels Forum extends invitations to the most senior legal officers within NRF retail member companies, such as the senior counsel, general counsel, chief legal officer, senior executive, SVP or EVP.
*Although this council is invite-only, we always encourage senior leaders to inquire.
