Africa Legal is delighted to announce a bold new chapter in the evolution of the General Counsel Forum. In partnership with Afriwise—the leading legal data and intelligence platform in Africa—we’re bringing together two powerful brands to host the inaugural GC Forum 2025 | Governance, Risk & Compliance, a platform designed exclusively for in-house legal professionals navigating complex environments.
Taking place alongside the IBA African Regional Forum Conference, this forum marks a step-change in how African GCs engage with the most pressing forces shaping business today: geopolitical volatility, legal fragmentation, and rising demands for risk-conscious governance.
In 2025, GCs are not only legal advisors—they are strategic risk leaders. They interpret political shifts, track global regulatory ripple effects, harness legal intelligence, and guide sustainable business decisions. This high-level, full-day event will explore how legal leaders in Africa can:
Bridge the gap between legal compliance and strategic business planning
Interpret and respond to geopolitical volatility at operational and board level
Leverage legal data and digital tools to future-proof legal functions
Drive strong governance, ethics, and accountability across cross-border operations
Join us as we convene Africa’s most forward-thinking legal minds for practical insights, peer exchange, and leadership dialogue.
