Now in its 8th edition, the CEE General Counsel Summit returns in 2026, this time in Bucharest, bringing together the region’s leading in-house legal minds for two days of meaningful dialogue, insight, learning, and cross-border connection.
As always, the Summit is more than a conference; it’s a space for General Counsel across CEE to step back from the daily rush, engage with peers who understand their challenges, and explore the evolving role of the GC in today’s business landscape.
This year’s program will feature a strong lineup of speakers and sessions covering everything from legal leadership and crisis preparedness to external counsel management, compliance trends, the latest in legal tech, and more. The focus: practical, real-world insights you can take back to your team.
But what sets the CEE GC Summit apart is the atmosphere. Beyond the panels and presentations, it’s about building relationships with peers, counterparts, and colleagues who face the same pressures and share the same ambitions. It’s also about stepping into a room full of smart, strategic legal leaders and enjoying the conversation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bucharest in May 2026.
NOTE: Registration to attend the CEE General Counsel Summit is exclusively open to senior in-house counsel with only sponsoring law firms’ representatives being able to attend.
Up to Feb 14
Up to Mar 14
After Mar 14
We’re excited to bring the Summit to Bucharest, a city with a strong legal tradition and an engaged, forward-thinking GC community. It’s the perfect setting to reconnect with peers and continue building cross-border relationships across CEE. We have selected Grand Hotel Bucharest as the venue for the event – a luxury hotel in the heart of the city.
Of course, it is about much more than lectures, presentations, and panels. It’s about networking, meeting peers and counterparts, and making valuable contacts with others who share similar challenges, frustrations, and responsibilities. It’s also about socializing, making friends, and having fun.
Do you have any questions about the event or the venue? Drop us a message and we will be in touch shortly.
