In my role as Product Marketing VP of the Global Legal Segment for IntraLinks, I just completed an international speaking tour to engage General Counsel around the world about their most pressing needs. The goal was to have a conversation about how IntraLinks for Corporate Legal Management can provide solutions for those needs.

It truly was a global tour over the past month. I participated on a panel on technology solutions at the ACC Europe annual conference in Berlin, where I had the opportunity to share perspectives with in-house counsel from across Europe over the course of three days. IntraLinks led a panel at the ALM Corporate Counsel event in New York City, where I served as moderator and heard the viewpoints from General Counsel in the United States. And IntraLinks hosted a dinner event at the Savoy Hotel in London for a thought leadership discussion on risk readiness with senior corporate counsel based in the United Kingdom.

I recently attended the Argyle Chief Legal Officer Leadership Forum, held in Chicago. The event brought together over 150 global chief legal officers to discuss the challenges and issues that general counsels face. There were a number of speakers, panel discussions and breakout sessions focused on topics ranging from reducing costs and mitigating risk to tracking the legal impact of technology and social media.

While there, we had the pleasure of introducing Charles Wunsch, the general counsel and corporate secretary of Sprint Nextel. His presentation — "Legal Issue Spotting in a Changing World" — was a thought-provoking look at how rapid technological change has created new issues for legal departments. Here are a few of his key points:

I recently attended the Argyle Chief Legal Officer Forum, a gathering of 200 global corporate counsels to discuss the challenges facing legal departments. IntraLinks was a key sponsor of the event that including a panel introduction, sales introductions to targeted CLOs and a presentation table. IntraLinks also previewed a new enterprise offering that integrates secure legal document repositories, project management workflows and internal/external collaboration. In addition, we were able to interview keynote speaker Tom Sabatino, former General Counsel of Schering Plough (now General Counsel of United Airlines).
