Assembly of Global General Counsel

Fellowship in a Permanent Deliberative Body.

A private institutional forum for senior General Counsel carrying genuine cross-border legal responsibility. Not a conference. Not a network. A body that convenes annually, holds its intelligence collectively, and exists between sessions.

USD 1,995
Annual Fellowship Contribution
Per General Counsel · Billed annually
The Assembly is a permanent institutional body. It does not dissolve between sessions. It holds a growing body of jurisdictional intelligence, a curated membership of senior legal leaders, and a set of instruments that serve its fellows continuously throughout the year. It is not an event you attend. It is a body you belong to.
01
Annual In-Person Convening — Any Country, Globally
The Assembly convenes once per year in person. Location rotates globally — determined by the membership's geographic concentration. The inaugural convening is Barcelona, August 2026. Fellows attend the full session. There is no day pass. The session is for fellows only.
Included in fellowship

Quarterly Jurisdictional Intelligence Briefings
Four times per year, fellows receive a closed jurisdictional reality briefing drawn from the Global Legal Readiness Index™ and from the network of Constituent Designated Law Practices. Delivered in writing. Accompanied by an optional closed group call.
