As new risks arise and legal liabilities increase for the retail industry, NRF is providing retail law professionals with best-in-class opportunities to gain expert insights, network with each other and learn best practices on advising and protecting their organizations. Through NRF in-person events, online programming and more, professionals learn how to tackle the most pressing legal and regulatory issues facing companies across the retail spectrum.
Resources
NRF’s Litigation Risk Trackers are widely used by retail law leaders to get ahead of the curve. These tools track some of the most high-risk legal cases filed against retailers weekly. In addition to timely litigation information, NRF is a go-to source for legal and law-related webinars featuring leading legal minds offering practical advice on hot topics in retail such as artificial intelligence, regulatory developments and cybersecurity.
Events and networking
Law and risk professionals also leverage opportunities like the NRF Retail Law Summit, a free virtual event for retail in-house attorneys, risk and compliance officers, HR and other professionals who counsel their organizations on law-related matters. This year, more than 700 leaders gathered to discuss topics in retail tech, consumer protection and workplace issues. Legal experts from Macy’s, J.Crew and some of the nation’s top law firms presented and most sessions were CLE and SHRM credit-eligible.
The General Counsels Forum convenes NRF members to share strategies and ideas for addressing issues most top of mind for retail’s chief legal officers. The forum is open exclusively to the most senior legal officers among NRF’s retail membership.
