Risk / Regulation / Responsibility / Resiliency

A strategic gathering for the legal profession at a moment of global complexity.

The Legal ESG Global Summit arrives at a time when the legal profession is confronting something unprecedented: the full convergence of geopolitics, regulation, corporate risk, and ESG strategy.

ESG is no longer a branding exercise or an aspirational set of principles, it has shifted into a strategic, high-stakes legal and governance discipline defined by geopolitical instability, regulatory acceleration, and investor scrutiny.

Over three days in London, we bring together general counsel, law firm leaders, ESG practitioners, regulatory experts, and legal operations professionals to examine how ESG is evolving, and what the legal profession must do to lead through this new reality.

The world has entered an era where geopolitical turbulence shapes ESG risk in real time. Wars, sanctions, supply-chain disruption, technology controls, political fragmentation, and climate volatility have become board-level concerns. Boards are not prepared for the convergence of these forces. ESG cannot remain a silo: it demands situational awareness, strategic governance, and integrated risk oversight.

This Summit reflects this new landscape.

• Day 1 focuses on the in-house perspective: Exploring how general counsel are navigating regulatory fragmentation, disclosure risk, supply-chain accountability, climate liability, political uncertainty, and investor expectations.
• Day 2 turns to law firms: Unpacking how firms can advise clients through the ESG reset, geopolitical shockwaves, mandatory reporting, litigation exposure, and the fast-changing expectations of boards and shareholders.
• Day 3 shifts the lens inward: Examining how legal organisations themselves embed ESG into operations, culture, governance, data, technology, talent, climate commitments, and accountability systems.
  

The Legal ESG Global Summit is designed for leaders who understand that ESG is no longer simply about reporting or positioning. It is about navigating a world where political shocks trigger legal risk, where regulations span jurisdictions, where climate litigation accelerates, where stakeholder expectations harden, and where lawyers, in-house and in private practice, are expected to guide organisations through uncertainty.

This is the gathering for those who refuse to be passive in the face of geopolitical and ESG disruption, and who see the future of the legal profession as one that leads with clarity, strategic intelligence, and responsible governance.
