Legal 500 is pleased to announce the GC Summit Romania 2026, taking place on Wednesday, 25 February in Bucharest.

Join senior in-house counsel and legal leaders for a day of practical insights and peer exchange as Romania’s regulatory landscape continues to shift. With increasing enforcement activity, rising compliance expectations, and geopolitical pressures influencing business operations, in-house legal teams are now playing an increasingly strategic role.

In collaboration with our event partners, the summit will feature sessions exploring the most relevant practice areas for Romanian legal departments, including:

• M&A Transactions and Process – addressing regulatory approvals, due-diligence challenges, deal disruption in uncertain market conditions, and the complexities of cross-border activity.
• Internal Investigations, White-Collar Risk & Anti-Corruption – examining trigger points for investigations, structuring effective teams, managing whistleblowers, coordinating reviews across jurisdictions, and integrating technology and AI into investigative processes.
• Counselling Large Infrastructure & Investment Projects – considering contractual structures, procurement dynamics, regulatory requirements, and multi-jurisdictional risk allocation for major developments and long-term projects.
• EU and Competition – unpacking enforcement priorities, understanding EU-level developments, and assessing the implications for corporate conduct, market behaviour, and strategic planning.
• Regulatory Risk & Compliance Management – addressing escalating oversight, evolving obligations, and the frameworks legal teams use to anticipate and mitigate organisational risk.
• Legal Operations Transformation – tools, processes, and strategies enabling legal teams to enhance efficiency and deliver greater impact with limited resources.

Further sessions will be announced shortly.

Through practical discussions led by experienced practitioners and in-house leaders, attendees will gain actionable strategies to navigate regulatory complexity, reinforce compliance frameworks, and support business objectives in a rapidly changing environment.
