About the summit

Returning in May 2026, the Corporate Counsel Summit is once again uniting the in-house legal profession to confront the issues redefining business today. From rising cultural expectations and AI adoption to ESG scrutiny and crisis response, in-house teams are taking on expanded mandates with sharper risks and greater visibility.

To meet the moment, this year’s summit introduces an expanded streamed agenda format. Attendees can tailor their experience across focused tracks that reflect the breadth and complexity of today’s in-house legal function. These include sessions on AI governance, resourcing and legal operations, digital transformation risk, ESG defence, culture leadership, and cyber response.

Join over 250 legal professionals for a day of insight, strategy, and connection with your peers. Whether you’re guiding transformation or protecting business continuity, this is your forum to stay ahead.
