“The Global State of Legal Entity Compliance 2026,” a research report from Diligent, details the current landscape that company secretaries and general counsel have to contend with in today’s age.
“An inbox with unread regulator notices, a handful of jurisdictions where filings have slipped, and a General Counsel asking politely for a one-page view of subsidiary risk. Their team is the same shape it was two years – and more – ago. The number of obligations it owns is not the same. It is not an unusual picture. It is, increasingly, the picture,” observes Tracey Brady, VP of Product & Strategy at Diligent Entities.
Drawing on the experience of hundreds of senior practitioners and detailing editorial interviews with governance leaders of global structures, this report on legal entity compliance paints a picture of 2026 and beyond. It’s not just about pressure being more intense – it’s about how the game has changed from how it used to be. The mandate is wider, the data flows are denser, the audiences are more numerous, and the operating model the function uses to meet them was designed for simpler times, on technology that pre-dates any serious conversation about AI.
