Overview (Program Summary)
How can in-house counsel help their organizations navigate today’s global geopolitical tensions?
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East underscores a global environment marked by strong geopolitical tensions, trade disruption, and increasing regulatory complexity. In-house counsel help businesses to adapt and lead in this shifting landscape that reshapes strategy, operations, and risk exposure.
What can corporate counsel learn from the in-house legal teams of organizations that operate in areas impacted by disasters or conflicts? They’re used to operating in high-stakes, high-risk contexts, with complex legal and reputational risks, physical security risks to staff on the ground, supply chain disruptions, and heightened geopolitical scrutiny.
Join ACC President & CEO Jason L. Brown in conversation with Aaron Renenger, Chief of Strategic Relations and General Counsel at World Central Kitchen, a global nonprofit delivering aid in regions affected by disaster and conflict, including the Middle East.
Aaron will share practical insights from his experience at the intersection of law, geopolitics, and business—on how in-house counsel can help organizations navigate geopolitical pressure, manage cross-border regulatory risk, support global partnerships, and maintain operational continuity in complex environments.
You’ll leave with actionable perspectives on how legal leaders can strengthen their organization’s ability to operate—and compete—in this volatile global context.
