Event Report

On a splendid evening in Rio de Janeiro, a roundtable discussion gathered some of the city’s most influential General Counsel (GCs) from various sectors. The ambiance was convivial, allowing for a free-flowing exchange of ideas and insights.

The lively conversation delved into a range of critical topics shaping the current socio-economic landscape. Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerged as a central theme, with participants sharing their perspectives on its impact on business operations, legal frameworks, and ethics. The consensus was that while AI presents opportunities for efficiency and innovation, careful consideration of ethical implications and responsible implementation is imperative.

Equally significant was the discussion on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, recognising the growing importance of sustainability and corporate responsibility. The GCs emphasised the need for corporations to align their strategies with ESG goals, underscoring the positive outcomes that responsible practices can have on both society and the bottom line.

The conversation seamlessly transitioned into the realm of tax reform, a topic of high relevance given its direct impact on businesses and economies. Participants exchanged insights on potential reforms that could streamline tax processes, enhance compliance, and stimulate economic growth while ensuring fairness and equity in the taxation system.

All attendees expressed their eagerness to continue engaging in these meaningful dialogues, recognising the value of collaboration and knowledge-sharing in navigating the evolving legal landscape.

The event not only provided an opportunity for these esteemed General Counsel to engage in insightful conversations but also fostered a sense of community and collective responsibility. A warm thank you to the sponsor Pinheiro Guimarães for helping make this possible.
