Hard benefits. How to find one side of the hard ROI for in-house legal transformation

Legal transformation can be a hard sell, but it doesn’t have to be. In this workshop, former FTSE25 Global Legal Director Tom Fleuriot will show you how to build a compelling, measurable business case for change.

Legal tech Tinder: Strategic swiping for smarter decisions
Tara Waters Founder, TLW Consulting
Your technology decisions should hinge on strategy, not flashy demos. Don’t bumble through endless vendor meetings or get lost trying to find your perfect match amongst a sea of options. There’s plenty of fish in the legal tech ocean, but casting your net too widely will only end up grind(r)ing you and your users down. This workshop will shine a ray(a) of light on the frameworks that can help you take control of your legal tech funnel, find e-harmony with your users, and ensure your tech choices are based on real compatibility, not just pretty interfaces.

Rebecca Steer Partner, Charles Russell Speechlys
Join general counsel and law firm leaders for a candid discussion on how AI is transforming client-firm relationships.

governance to knowledge management, women are playing leading roles in how legal
systems are evolving. This panel shines a light on the women defining how law is built and
used. They are rethinking access, ethics, and innovation in ways that reshape both practice
