Dinner with <em>GC</em>
In February, GC magazine undertook an ambitious two-week road trip across Germany to host Dinner with GC: Germany – a series of intimate dinners for in-house counsel, held in partnership with Beiten Burkhardt.
With five destinations in total – Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart – 75 general counsel joined GC, represented by editor-in-chief Alex Speirs and deputy editor Greg Hall, for the dinners.
With the present business and political uncertainty across Europe, much of the discussion focused on the role of Germany on the global stage, as well as within a new-look European Union in the wake of Brexit. But with such a diverse range of attendees, topics of conversation were varied, ranging from Donald Trump, to GDPR, to German elections – and even, at one dinner, the virtues of proper pet grooming.
