Event information
Legal 500 is pleased to announce the GC Summit Norway 2026, taking place on Wednesday, 11th March at the Hotel Continental, Oslo. As Norway continues to navigate a complex legal and commercial landscape, the summit will provide a timely forum for the country’s leading in-house counsel. With heightened expectations around sustainability, governance, and regulatory compliance, the role of the general counsel is expanding rapidly—requiring both strategic insight and operational agility.
In partnership with our event sponsors, the agenda will feature forward-looking and practical discussions on topics including:
•Key regulatory and enforcement developments across Norway, the EU, and the EEA
•Governance, risk, and compliance challenges in an evolving regulatory environment
•Managing transactions and investments amid economic volatility and geopolitical change
•ESG, sustainability reporting, and the legal implications of the energy transition
•Cybersecurity, data protection, and crisis management under increased scrutiny
The GC Summit Norway 2026 will bring together senior in-house lawyers, leading practitioners, and industry experts for a day of insight-driven discussion and practical knowledge sharing. Sessions will explore how legal leaders can support business growth while managing regulatory risk, reputational exposure, and operational complexity in highly regulated sectors such as energy, shipping, finance, and technology.
As with all Legal 500 GC Summits, the event will place a strong emphasis on dialogue, collaboration, and peer exchange. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with fellow GCs across industries, share experiences, and gain actionable strategies to strengthen the strategic impact of their legal teams.
In a period of significant legal and regulatory change, the Legal 500 Norway GC Summit 2026 is an essential gathering for in-house leaders seeking to stay ahead of developments and lead with confidence.
