Welcome to the UUBO General Counsel Summit

The inaugural UUBO General Counsel Summit — in association with Lex Mundi — is Nigeria’s premier gathering for top-tier legal leaders navigating today’s complex legal, business, and regulatory environment. This exclusive, by-invitation event convenes senior in-house counsel and legal operations leaders and chief compliance officers and top legal minds from leading Nigerian, African, and multinational companies — to confront legal challenges head-on, lead smarter transactions, and build resilient, future-ready legal functions. In one high-impact day, the Summit will dive into how GCs are responding to regulatory pressure, managing crises, and evolving their teams to deliver strategic value in volatile conditions.

This is not theory

This is about practical solutions to real-world issues — from cross-border transactions and sanctions exposure, to generative AI, data governance, talent strategy, and compliance in complex markets like Nigeria.

2025 Theme: Confronting Complexity. Igniting Innovation. Reinventing Resilience

The modern GC is no longer just a legal gatekeeper.
They are strategic advisors, crisis managers, and architects of institutional resilience — responsible for safeguarding transactions, building trust, and steering organisations through change.

Why Attend?

This Summit brings together general counsel and senior legal executives from blue-chip companies — exploring the trends reshaping the legal landscape and the counsel businesses need to stay competitive. From economic volatility to regulatory shifts, ESG pressure to geopolitical tension, the conversations here are timely, relevant, and grounded in Nigeria’s evolving legal and business climate. Backed by market data and extensive cross-border GC- insights from Lex Mundi, the event draws on diverse collective intelligence from hundreds of top tier legal leaders worldwide on global forces transforming the GC role including geopolitical risk, technology disruption, sustainability, regulatory change, and the rising expectations of legal leadership.

If you are a general counsel, head of legal, chief compliance officer, or senior legal operations leader ready to lead through complexity — this is your room.
