Global CLOs on Geopolitical Risk and Resilience: Leading Legal Through a World on Edge

When:  Wed, Oct 21, 2026 from 10:00:00 to 11:00:00 (ET)

According to ACC's 2026 Chief Legal Officers Survey, geopolitical risk is cited nearly three times more often than any other concern facing corporate leaders today.

But concern isn't the same as action. A separate ACC flash poll found that more than a third of organizations have taken no formal steps in response — and most haven't even updated the contract language they're relying on right now. That's the gap this conversation is built to close.

Join us as ACC President & CEO Jason L. Brown sits down with CLOs operating inside some of the world's most demanding regulatory environments to talk candidly about what it actually takes to move from reactive to ready, including how legal departments are:

  • Moving from interpreting geopolitical risk to anticipating it
  • Breaking down silos, rethinking vendor and supply-chain exposure, and defining a data sovereignty posture
  • Building disclosure-ready response playbooks
  • Turning resilience into a genuine source of trust and opportunity
