The most strategic meeting of the year for LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE LEADERS.

About the event
Built upon the responses of over 350 Legal and Compliance leaders regarding their biggest challenges and priorities for the year, the Corporate Legal Executive Summit arrives at its 2026 edition at the most challenging time of the decade for the field.
Starting in August, no company under the regular tax regime will issue an invoice without the fields of the new tax system. The legal framework for AI awaits a vote in the Chamber of Deputies, while the ANPD (National Data Protection Authority) has already prioritized artificial intelligence for oversight. In October, the elections will reshape the regulatory risk for 2027. All this is happening simultaneously, and all these fronts depend on the leadership of Legal and Compliance departments.
The meeting brings together more than 300 executives responsible for the country's largest operations for a day of discussions about what rarely gets discussed in open forums: the difficult decisions, the trade-offs, and the leadership moves that are redefining the weight of legal matters in the strategy, governance, and results of companies.
The space for exchange and discussion is organized around three strategic axes:
- AI in and under the Legal Department — using technology within the area while simultaneously being responsible for its governance across the entire company.
- The Brazilian regulatory shift — deciding on rules still under construction, with two tax systems coexisting and litigation on the rise.
- The new mandate of the legal leader — less opinion and more decision-making: leadership, board language, and the team of the next decade.

Schedule
A conversational environment designed to generate collective insights through exchanges between executives leading the largest and most complex legal operations in the country. The program is divided into six formats:
- Q&A Panels — discussions focused on five strategic questions, with no pre-defined answers.
- Solo presentations in TED Talk format — high-level speakers engaging the audience before the discussion sessions.
- Success stories — results presented by those who were responsible for them, followed by questions among the executives themselves.
- Case studies — what didn't work, why, and what the decision taught us about leadership.
- 15-minute talks — interviews with career paths outside the standard for the field.
- Closed-room — debates and insights from industry leaders who would never go on stage.
Between the sessions, there will be four dedicated networking opportunities for peers, culminating in the TOP 50 Executives in Legal and Compliance Awards, which recognizes the year's outstanding performers.
