Overview
Williams & Connolly partner Elaine Horn will be speaking at this year’s General Counsel Conference East (GCC East) on November 10, 2026, in New York City.
This conference is a professional development and networking event for general counsel and legal executives, with content built around the in-house perspective. This year’s speaker sessions and CLEs will cover AI integration, cybersecurity and data privacy, regulatory changes, supply chain issues, complex litigation, IP, and strategic leadership, along with practical advice on meeting the demands of the C-suite, the board, and other stakeholders.
Elaine will be moderating the panel “Talent Management Programs: Managing Risk When the Rules Keep Shifting.” The session will offer a practical framework for assessing whether talent management programs still hold up as enforcement priorities shift, including how to decide what to modify, preserve, or document. It will also cover how to handle conflicting federal, state, and international requirements.
Elaine serves as Co-Chair of both Williams & Connolly’s Employment Litigation practice group and its Employment Counseling practice group. Her employment practice includes conducting internal investigations, defending employers in class action litigation, and litigating individual civil and administrative cases and arbitrations. Elaine also counsels clients regarding employment policies, employee handbooks, restrictive covenants, accommodations issues, and prospective adverse employment decisions.
