US General Counsel Summit 2026

An executive forum for General Counsel to benchmark legal operating models, navigate regulatory and technology-driven change, and position legal as a strategic business partner.

The US General Counsel Summit 2026 will bring together General Counsel, senior in-house legal executives and relevant solution providers for an invitation-only forum focused on the challenges shaping corporate legal leadership. Taking place on 10 to 11 December 2026 at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, the Summit will feature expert presentations, practical case studies, interactive discussions and scheduled one-to-one meetings.

As legal teams face increasing expectations around technology, governance, risk management and commercial performance, General Counsel must protect their organisations while contributing to wider business objectives. The programme will explore how legal leaders can respond to these demands, strengthen enterprise resilience and improve the effectiveness of their teams.

Key topics include:

• AI Governance: Addressing privilege, confidentiality and process maturity as AI reshapes how legal work is performed and supervised.
• Cyber Under Pressure: Strengthening legal’s role in AI-enabled threat response, cyber governance and incident preparedness.
• Regulatory Agility: Building defensible frameworks that can adapt to changing legislation, enforcement priorities and regulatory uncertainty.
• The Value Equation: Improving cost predictability, external counsel relationships and accountability for legal spend.
• Global Growth and Enterprise Risk: Managing cross-border expansion, workforce obligations and regulatory complexity while supporting commercial growth.
• The Future of Legal Leadership: Developing the capabilities, operating models and enterprise influence required of General Counsel.

The Summit combines thought leadership and peer exchange with opportunities for direct engagement. Scheduled one-to-one meetings connect delegates with relevant solution providers, allowing both sides to discuss current priorities, assess potential solutions and explore how different services may support legal teams. Networking sessions and shared meals provide further opportunities for professional conversation.

For General Counsel and senior legal executives, the Summit offers practical insight and a chance to compare approaches with peers. For companies providing legal technology, compliance, risk management and other relevant services, it offers a focused environment to engage with legal leaders and better understand their priorities.
