In its third year, the Legal 500 GC Summit Saudi Arabia 2026 brings together general counsel and senior in-house legal leaders operating in the Kingdom for focused peer-led conversations on how the GC role is evolving in practice during a period of accelerated economic transformation, regulatory reform and technological change.

As Saudi Arabia advances its Vision 2030 agenda, legal functions are under pressure to move beyond traditional risk management and operate as enterprise-level strategic partners. GCs are expected to support growth, innovation, foreign investments while maintaining robust governance in a regulatory and geopolitical environment that is becoming more complex.

Set against this backdrop, the summit provides a forum for experienced in-house leaders to step back from day-to-day execution and examine how legal strategy, operating models and decision-making are adapting inside organisations across the Kingdom.

Discussions will span regulatory prioritisation, disputes, trade and growth-related risk, AI and legal technology at enterprise scale.

Designed as a peer-to-peer forum, the summit prioritises candid conversations between experienced in-house leaders on what is working in practice, where approaches continue to fall short, and how in-house legal teams are evolving to support long-term growth, resilience and governance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Legal 500 GC Summit Saudi Arabia 2026 offers senior in-house lawyers a practical forum for trusted peer exchange, strategic insight and a clearer view of how the GC role is being reshaped across the Kingdom.
