Counseling and Compliance: The Role of the GC in PE

On February 8, Winston & Strawn hosted an informative webinar in which women chief compliance officers and general counsels discussed insights and lessons learned on the role of the GC in private equity, including:

• Facilitating communications, difficult conversations, and informed decision-making across the PE firm
• Supporting an evolving/expanding private equity business
• Balancing different roles and competing priorities
• Managing risk exposure in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape
• How women can be uniquely suited for the role

This webinar is a part of the “Correcting the Record: Yes, Women Want to Form Their Own Private Equity Firms,” which was sparked by a Forbes article that claimed women do not want to form their own PE firms because of the gender pay gap.
