Scheduled for March 10, 2026, at Old Billingsgate in London, this event brings together over 1,500 senior decision-makers from the legal and technology sectors to explore the future of legal practice in a technology-driven era.
The forum features six presentation stages covering a wide array of topics, including artificial intelligence in law, cybersecurity, practice management, and compliance. Key sessions include "The View from the Managing Partner," "How Humans Succeed in the Age of AI," and "Future for UK Innovation." The event also introduces the 'Ideas Factory,' a dedicated space supported by Innovate UK, designed to challenge assumptions and foster collaboration among legal tech innovators.
Attendees can engage in extensive networking opportunities, access an exhibition hall showcasing over 90 leading technology and IT security suppliers, and participate in interactive demonstrations. Notable speakers include Professor Richard Susskind OBE KC (Hon), who will lead the 'NetDocuments' Main Stage, and Christina Blacklaws, chairing the Lounge Stage. The event concludes with an exclusive after-party at Paradise Green, offering further opportunities for connection and celebration.
This forum is ideal for law firm leaders, in-house counsel, legal technologists, and IT professionals seeking to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving legal landscape. It provides a platform to gain insights into emerging technologies, understand their practical applications, and network with peers and industry experts.
