Key Themes for 2026
THE KING: Protecting the Enterprise
For General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officers, today's risk landcape is defined by rising scruity and limited time to align before issues escalate. The challenge lies in identifying pressure points early and cutting through ambiguity to enable decisive, coordinated action - but this is no easy feat when buy-in from the board is already a struggle.
THE ROOKS: Structural Strength
Effective legal leadership is built on strong foundations. As organisations scale, risk is increasingly shaped by the systems, relationships and tools that sit beneath day-to-day decision-making. Legal and compliance leaders face growing scruity when those foundations are tested, particularly where weaknesses only become visible under pressure.
THE QUEEN: Range and Influence
When risk escalates, legal and compliance leaders are pulled across legal, regulatory, commerical, and reputational terrain at once, where influence depends less on formal authority and more on speed, adaptability, and trust. Maintaining that agility under pressure is one of the role's most persistent challenges
THE KNIGHTS: Navigating Complexity
Few challenges unfold predictably, particularly amid regulatory uncertainty, geopolitical disruption, and competing stakeholder expectations. Navigating that complexity in this sense requires integrating legal judgement with real-time insight into enforcement trends and regulatory posture.
THE BISHOPS: Perspective and Alignment
Complex decisions rarely present a single, coherent truth. One of the enduring challenges for legal and compliance leaders is maintaining alignment when those perspectives collide, particularly where values, ethics, and long-term strategy are under pressure.
THE PAWNS: Culture and Execution
Culture is where legal strategy succeeds or fails. Together with Chief Compliance Officers, legal leaders create policies, lead workshops, and share insights with upper management, but the real risk emerges when policies exist, but do not translate into consistent behaviour across the organisation.
