Thank you Cecilia Lahaye

A special thank you to Cecilia Lahaye of Crowell & Moring LLP for her outstanding leadership as Director of the IADC's 2026 International Corporate Counsel College in Brussels.

Bringing together legal professionals, business leaders, and distinguished speakers from around the world is no small undertaking. Cecilia developed a thoughtful and timely program that addressed some of the most pressing challenges facing international businesses, from geopolitical uncertainty and cross-border disputes to artificial intelligence, global risk, and economic competitiveness.

What made the conference especially valuable was the opportunity to approach these challenges from different perspectives, bringing together people whose experiences span industries, legal systems, and countries.

We are grateful to Cecilia for the tremendous time, care, and dedication she invested in making this year's College such a meaningful experience, and to everyone who helped bring her vision to life.
