Managing Through the Administration’s Agendas: A Conversation at the GC Forum

Michael Froy and Terry Szmagala are featured in our recently released video, Managing Through the Administration’s Agendas: A Conversation at the GC Forum. Filmed at the October General Counsel Forum in Chicago, the discussion addresses how today’s General Counsels and senior executives are navigating an unprecedented wave of U.S. Administration actions.

With more than 200 executive orders issued, many affecting supply chains, reporting obligations, employee programs, and regulatory exposure, leaders are under pressure to respond quickly—without overreacting. Drawing on their experience at Dentons and Eaton Corporation, Froy and Szmagala explore practical frameworks for assessing risk, advising boards, and helping organizations stay focused amid policy volatility.

The video offers candid insights into balancing speed with judgment, filtering signal from noise, and leading with steadiness when the rules keep shifting. It is essential viewing for legal and business leaders operating in today’s dynamic governance environment.
