6th Annual Corporate Legal Counsel Summit & Awards 2026
The evolving legal landscape in India presents unprecedented challenges and opportunities for General Counsels (GCs). With over 90% of India's top companies now having a GC or head of legal, GCs are increasingly recognized as strategic partners, playing crucial roles in risk assessment, compliance, and operational complexity mitigation. However, less than 40% hold executive team or board-level seats, signaling room for growth in leadership influence.
Data privacy and cybersecurity are top priorities, with Indian organizations striving to align with global standards like GDPR while managing the rising threat of cyber breaches. Recent surveys show 59% of Indian companies faced financial or economic crime in the past two years, underscoring the GC's vital role in safeguarding corporate interests.
The 6th Annual Corporate Legal Counsel Summit & Awards 2026 will explore strategies for leveraging AI and advanced technologies to enhance efficiency while managing legal risks. This summit offers an unparalleled platform for GCs to network, share insights, and redefine the future of in-house legal functions in India's dynamic business environment.
