Cyril Shroff, IIM Ahmedabad join hands to launch leadership academy for General Counsels
Cyril Shroff, the managing partner of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, has partnered with the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) to establish a new leadership academy aimed at training general counsels for their evolving roles as enterprise strategists. This initiative, known as the Cyril Shroff – IIMA GC Leadership Academy, focuses on enhancing leadership skills, financial acumen, technological readiness, and global networking opportunities for legal leaders. The academy combines IIMA's renowned case-based teaching methods with the practical expertise of CAM, marking a significant step in preparing legal professionals for future challenges. The role of general counsel has transformed significantly, moving beyond traditional legal advisory functions to encompass responsibilities in governance, strategy, and risk management. As companies increasingly expect their legal leaders to be integral to corporate decision-making, this academy seeks to fill a gap in executive education tailored specifically for this shift. Cyril Shroff emphasized the importance of building enduring institutions that support the legal profession, highlighting the academy's philanthropic nature. Prof. Bharat Bhasker, Director of IIMA, expressed a shared commitment to fostering leadership at the intersection of law, business, and governance. The academy aims to equip general counsels with essential skills and perspectives, enabling them to thrive in a rapidly changing business landscape. With IIMA's prestigious reputation and CAM's extensive legal expertise, the academy promises to be a valuable resource for the next generation of legal leaders.
