General counsels are at the forefront during crises like the war in Ukraine, and their role can involve managing third-party partners, internal and external communications, and employee safety. In this article, we share an inside look from GCs of General Electric, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation and Meggitt-USA Inc., who spoke at the recent ABA Institute on White Collar Crime on how they contend with crisis management and investigations. They also shared their views on individual accountability, their role in ESG matters and their key concerns for the coming years.
