In early 2026, GAIL launched a new programme for members working in-house.

GAIL’s global in‑house community was created to recognise the distinct role of in‑house impact lawyers and to provide a trusted, peer‑led space for practical exchange.

The initiative aims to:

• Connect in‑house impact lawyers across regions and sectors
• Share practical tools, templates, and real‑world experience
• Support lawyers navigating impact, ESG, and governance challenges from inside organisations

This new community identified priority areas:

• Impact investment & blended finance
• Integrating impact / ESG into practice
• Board engagement & internal advocacy
• Drafting & negotiating impact clauses
• Impact governance
• Supply chain & social procurement
• Career pathways & leadership

Initial events have covered:

• Impact considerations when instructing external counsel
• Adaptive leadership frameworks in the face of uncertainty

In-house GAIL members can access the content of previous sessions through GAIL’s membership forum, Mighty Networks. Log in to your member account for instructions to join Mighty Networks.

In-house GAIL members who want to be added the mailing list are invited to get in touch.
