The Association of Corporate Counsel is delighted to invite you to an exclusive evening for senior in-house legal counsel in Kuala Lumpur, hosted in partnership with Rosli Dahlan Saravana Partnership (RDS).

Following the strong momentum of our inaugural ACC event in Malaysia earlier this year, this gathering brings the Malaysian in-house community back together for a timely panel discussion and an evening of meaningful connection.

About the Panel Discussion

Navigating Deals: Balancing Legal Risk, Commercial Reality and Client Expectations

General Counsel are increasingly expected to do more than manage legal risk. They must enable commercial opportunities, anticipate potential disputes and provide pragmatic, timely advice that aligns legal considerations with business objectives and stakeholder expectations.

In this panel discussion, partners from RDS will share practical insights on navigating the complexities of commercial transactions— from negotiating deals and managing contractual risks to resolving conflicts when commercial relationships come under strain. The discussion will explore how legal teams can strike the right balance between protecting the organisation, facilitating business decisions and managing the expectations of internal stakeholders and external counterparties. Through real-world perspectives and practical takeaways, the panel will examine how General Counsel can exercise sound legal judgment, communicate risk effectively and adopt a commercially grounded approach to decision-making.

Join us for an engaging discussion on how to turn legal insight into strategic business value while navigating the competing demands of legal risk, commercial reality and client expectations.
