Leading the Charge in a World of Change 

May 13-14 | London, UK

The SCG Legal Midyear Meeting is coming to London, bringing together members from across the network for an engaging program of thought leadership, collaboration, business development, and networking.

Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global economy and legal landscape, this meeting will provide an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day, exchange perspectives with colleagues from around the world, and explore the trends and opportunities shaping our clients, firms, and profession.

EXCLUSIVE KEYNOTE: The Future of Global Stability | Geopolitics, AI & the Shifting World Order
Conversation with Sir Richard Dearlove | Former Chief of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)

Sir Richard served as Chief of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) from 1999 to 2004, leading the UK’s foreign intelligence operations during a defining period in modern history, including the September 11 attacks and the global war on terrorism. His distinguished intelligence career spanned nearly four decades, placing him at the center of some of the most consequential national security challenges of our time.

The 2027 SCG Legal Midyear Meeting will feature distinguished speakers and interactive discussions led by practitioners from across the network, with programming focused on issues including:

  • Artificial intelligence and the future of legal services, including emerging technologies, changing client expectations, and opportunities for law firms to innovate
  • Global economic and geopolitical developments and their impact on clients, transactions, and cross-border business
  • Regulatory and policy trends affecting businesses across jurisdictions and industries
  • Deal activity and disputes, including developments in M&A, capital markets, restructuring, and high-stakes litigation
  • Cross-border business opportunities and strategies for strengthening relationships across the SCG Legal network
  • Emerging trends across key industries and the legal issues creating new opportunities for our firms and clients

SCG Legal member firms are uniquely positioned to help clients navigate an increasingly interconnected and complex global environment. The Midyear Meeting will provide timely insights, practical perspectives, and—most importantly—valuable opportunities to connect with colleagues and develop new business relationships across the network.
