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.

What does effective lawyering look like when legal decisions have immediate business and economic consequences? In this one‑hour program for ACC and NAPABA members, Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General of the United States, joins us for a wide‑ranging conversation on advocacy, judgment, and the rule of law in a period of uncertainty. Using current issues such as tariffs, trade enforcement, and executive authority as touchstones, Katyal will explore how courts, agencies, and lawyers shape—and respond to—decisions that directly affect companies and markets.

Presented in cooperation with NAPABA

In moments of uncertainty, the real test of a market is not just how it responds—but how it is built to respond. This session features ACC CEO Jason Brown in conversation with Sahia Ahmad, CEO of Regulatory Policy & Governance at the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism and ACC Board Member, and takes a closer look at Dubai’s approach to continuity and recovery. Their conversation examines Dubai’s legal and business teams’ response as a case study in crisis readiness, coordination, and public-private partnership—and what it means for today’s in-house counsel.

Crisis is no longer episodic. It is structural. In-house counsel are expected to guide decision-making across operations, risk, and enterprise-wide coordination. Dubai’s approach offers a rare, live example of how to balance immediate response with long‑term resilience and strategic continuity.

What you’ll take away:

• How continuity is designed at a system level—through governance, policy, and infrastructure.
• The legal team’s role as a central node for strategy, logistics, and cross-functional coordination.
• Practical lessons on balancing immediate response with long-term resilience, investor confidence, and operational stability.
• What this means in practice for organizations shaping regional strategies—how to assess, structure, and operate in markets built for continuity.
