Business decisions are becoming faster, riskier and more exposed. General counsel are navigating AI adoption, cyberthreats, regulatory change, employment law reform, geopolitical uncertainty and supply-chain disruption—often before clear precedents exist. The 23rd General Counsel Summit brings together more than 600 legal leaders to explore how the GC role is evolving, the risks shaping boardroom decisions and where legal judgement creates strategic value. Under Chatham House rules, join a candid discussion that moves beyond theory to focus on practical responses, emerging priorities and the issues GCs should be preparing for in 2027 and beyond.

AI is transforming work at a pace most leaders have never seen before. The real challenge isn’t understanding the technology — it’s knowing how to prepare your people, your teams, and your organisation for the changes already underway.

This introduction course is suitable for all staff who need to have a clear understanding of the procedures required to ensure payments for goods sold on documentary credit terms. Knowledge and understanding are reinforced through the use of exercises, tips on getting the credit you want and working examples of documentary credits.
