Organised by Economist Impact, General Counsel Summit Asia 2026 is a premier forum dedicated to the in-house legal community, bringing together legal leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the role of the General Counsel in an increasingly complex business environment.
Taking place on 15 October 2026 in Singapore, the event will convene more than 60 speakers and over 400 delegates, including General Counsel, senior legal executives, risk management professionals and business leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region.
When the General Counsel’s Role Extends Beyond Risk Management
As businesses navigate geopolitical uncertainty, global trade fragmentation, evolving regulatory frameworks and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), the role of the General Counsel is expanding far beyond traditional legal advisory functions.
Today’s legal leaders are expected to play an active role in strategic decision-making, driving business growth and strengthening organisational resilience.
Centred around the theme “Legal Leadership. Risk. Resilience.”, General Counsel Summit Asia 2026 will offer practical insights from legal leaders who are shaping legal functions within some of the world’s leading multinational corporations.
