Overview

Presented by the IEL Young Energy Professionals Practice Committee

The IEL’s Young Energy Professionals are pleased to build on the great success of last year’s program by announcing the 5th Appalachia General Counsel Forum. The program is organized for the evening of Thursday, May 24, in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The IEL YEPs will host general counsel to share professional and career advice. This evening event is going to be of great interest to in-house counsel who want to hear more about the careers and business concerns of some of the most senior lawyers in industry, and to attorneys in private practice who want to improve their ability to address the needs of their clients as effectively as possible. The evening will begin with a reception, followed by a panel discussion, after which each general counsel will join a smaller group of young attorneys for dinner and a more intimate conversation.
