Geopolitical shifts are reshaping business strategy, supply chain stability, and regulatory exposure – and in-house counsel are tasked with navigating the changing landscape.

This webinar, Risk radar: Supply chains, the technology race, and global uncertainty, brought together former UK Prime Minister Lord David Cameron (London) and former US Senator Richard Burr (Washington, DC) to discuss key considerations related to supply chains, the technology race, and geopolitical events.

This session presented practical insights for in-house counsel looking to mitigate geopolitical risk and drive strategic decision-making in an evolving global environment.

Lord David Cameron

Lord David Cameron, former UK Prime Minister, brings an extraordinary wealth of knowledge and experience to this discussion. Lord Cameron served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2010 to 2016, leading Britain’s first coalition government since the Second World War and later a majority Conservative government.

In a surprise return to frontline politics in 2023, Lord Cameron rejoined the UK government as Foreign Secretary amid a period of significant global upheaval, including the October 7th massacre in Israel and the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This past June, Lord Cameron joined DLA Piper as a Consultant, offering clients his unparalleled insights into navigating complex global challenges. With more than two decades at the forefront of world affairs, he brings a unique perspective on the issues shaping today’s geopolitical landscape, and we are honored to have him with us.

As Chairman, Senator Burr positioned the committee as the Senate’s de facto technology committee, educating others on the threats and opportunities presented by 5G modernization, semiconductor-related supply chain vulnerabilities, and emerging technologies.
