EU-Arab Legal Summit 2026

The EU-Arab Legal Summit 2026 is the inaugural event of an annual forum aimed at connecting legal professionals from Europe and the Arab world. Organized by Law Pundits, the team behind the Global Legal Forum held annually in The Hague since 2017, the summit will take place on June 22-23, 2026, in The Hague, Netherlands. The event is designed to bring together managing partners, general counsel, government advisors, arbitrators, and corporate lawyers from across Europe, the Gulf, the Levant, and North Africa.

The 2026 program features six substantive themes: UAE legal structures and investment risk, Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 reforms, the European perspective on Middle East exposure, Iraq and the Levant after the storm, Arab investment into Europe, and rule of law and international arbitration. The summit will follow a single-track format, ensuring that every delegate shares the same experience.

The event will be held at the Hilton The Hague, conveniently located in the embassy quarter and near the royal shopping district Noordeinde. The venue is easily accessible via various forms of public transportation. Beyond the congress, attendees will have the opportunity to explore The Hague's historic city center, the stunning Peace Palace, and the beautiful seaside of Scheveningen. The city offers a diverse culinary scene, vibrant art galleries, and world-class museums such as the Mauritshuis and the Escher Museum.

Legal professionals interested in expanding their network and gaining insights into the latest developments in EU-Arab legal relations should consider attending. The summit provides a unique platform for sharing knowledge, discussing challenges, and exploring opportunities in the evolving legal landscape between Europe and the Arab world.
