On November 30, Cairo will host the Third Arab in-house Conference
Cairo is set to host the third edition of the Arab Legal Departments Conference, under the theme “Towards Highlighting the Strategic Value of Legal Departments,” from November 30 to December 2, 2026. The conference will bring together leading legal professionals, experts, specialists, and representatives of major institutions and companies from across the Arab world.
The conference comes at a time of rapid transformation in the business environment, which has led to a significant shift in the role of legal departments. Their responsibilities are no longer limited to legal support and advice, but have increasingly evolved to encompass strategic decision-making, risk management, institutional protection, and support business growth and sustainability.
In this context, Lawyer Walid Othman, Secretary-General of the Conference, stated that the conference aims to provide a professional platform that brings together heads and members of legal departments, legal counsel, lawyers, risk and compliance professionals, and decision-makers to discuss the key challenges facing modern legal departments. He noted that this edition focuses on highlighting the strategic role of legal departments in achieving organizational objectives and enhancing legal leaders’ understanding of how to measure and demonstrate their institutional impact to senior management and key stakeholders.
Othman further emphasized that the third edition focuses on four key strategic priorities of modern legal departments: enabling business, institutional protection, legal effectiveness, and operational efficiency. The conference will also explore the latest developments in legal risk management, performance measurement, optimizing legal spending, and leveraging artificial intelligence and modern legal technologies.
The program will also feature practical workshops aimed at developing participants’ skills in areas such as compliance, data protection, and strategic thinking, enabling legal departments to respond more effectively to the rapidly evolving business environment.
The third edition follows the success of the previous two editions, which attracted broad participation from across the Arab world, bringing together heads of legal departments, legal counsel, and senior legal professionals from a wide range of sectors. The previous editions featured valuable professional discussions on the latest developments and trends in legal department management, while also addressing the key challenges facing legal leaders amid the rapid changes taking place in today’s business environment.
Lawyer Walid Othman also highlighted the value of sponsoring the conference, noting that it presents a unique opportunity for law firms, Legal Tech companies, banks and financial institutions, and providers of legal services and solutions to enhance their market presence and connect directly with heads of legal departments, executive leaders, and decision-makers from leading organizations and sectors.
He emphasized that sponsorship goes beyond brand visibility, providing sponsors with a valuable opportunity to showcase their expertise and solutions, gain direct insights into the needs and priorities of legal decision-makers, build strategic professional relationships, and create new opportunities for collaboration and business development.
With its focused agenda and high-level professional audience, the conference offers sponsors a valuable platform to position their organizations within the legal and business community and engage directly with the decision-makers who shape the future of legal services and corporate legal functions.
