Lawyers Weekly and principal partner Consilio and Lawyers On Demand, a Consilio Company, are thrilled to once again present the annual Corporate Counsel Summit.
As businesses navigate accelerated transformation, evolving stakeholder expectations, and a shifting regulatory landscape, the role of the in-house legal team has never been more central – or more visible.
Lawyers Weekly will once again bring the nation’s in-house community together for one of the profession’s most anticipated gatherings: the Corporate Counsel Summit, run in partnership with principal partner Consilio and Lawyers On Demand, a Consilio Company, to be held at the Hyatt Regency, Sydney, on Thursday, 13 May 2027.
For the 2027 iteration, the Corporate Counsel Summit will examine the forces reshaping corporate risk, legal strategy and organisational leadership. From the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence and digital disruption to heightened expectations around governance, cultural accountability, and crisis preparedness, in-house legal teams are navigating an increasingly complex and fast-moving business environment. The challenge is no longer simply responding to change, but anticipating it and helping organisations stay ahead. The summit is designed to equip legal leaders with the insights, strategies and practical tools to do just that.
Building on its expanded multi-stream format, the 2027 summit will offer an even broader agenda, enabling attendees to tailor their experience across multiple content tracks and explore the issues most relevant to their roles and organisations. Bringing together more than 250 legal professionals, the event will deliver practical insights and strategic perspectives across emerging priorities, including AI governance and regulation, legal operations and sustainable resourcing, technology and digital transformation risk, workplace culture and people leadership, cyber resilience and incident response, and the evolving role of in-house counsel as a strategic business partner.
Across the day, delegates will gain practical insights into:

Speaking about the event, Paul Cowling, managing director of Lawyers On Demand, a Consilio Company, said: “In-house teams are being asked to do more, faster, and with greater strategic impact. The Corporate Counsel Summit gives them space to step back, share ideas and see what is working for their peers.”
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Lawyers Weekly as principal partner in 2027.”
Lawyers Weekly managing editor Jerome Doraisamy said: “It is our great pleasure to once again bring this market-leading summit to life for Australian in-house teams and professionals.
“Days like this are essential in providing a forum for corporate lawyers to learn from the experience, wisdom, and reflections of their colleagues across the professional spectrum, so that they may return to their workplaces the next day feeling armed with the necessary practical tools to thrive.
“We are also greatly appreciative of the ongoing support of our principal partner, Consilio and Lawyers On Demand, a Consilio Company. This day would not be possible without them.”
With CPD opportunities available, attendees will leave equipped with frameworks, playbooks, and strategic insights ready for immediate implementation.
The summit is designed for general counsel and chief legal officers, legal operations and transformation leads, senior in-house counsel across private and public sectors, compliance and risk professionals, and business leaders looking to better understand and empower their legal functions.
As the in-house role continues its evolution away from the provision of black-letter legal services, the 2027 Corporate Counsel Summit offers a rare opportunity to regroup, rethink and re-energise. For those steering organisations through complexity, this is your forum to stay ahead.
