Hard benefits. How to find one side of the hard ROI for in-house legal transformation
Tom Fleuriot Founder, Flocsam
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.

Closing the gap between law and business through turbulent times –
The human edge

Technology may be transforming the legal industry, but people remain its greatest driver of progress. In this session, we’ll dive into the mindsets, behaviours, and cultural shifts that will shape the future of legal. Through interactive discussions, you’ll discover practical ways to close the gap between law and business, while keeping people at the heart of innovation.
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.

ROUNDTABLES
Strategic operating model implications of AI for the legal ecosystem
Isabel Parker Chief Innovation Officer, White & Case
This roundtable will explore how AI and GenAI are reshaping the business models of law firms and their clients. As legal tech and platform providers evolve, traditional roles and relationships are shifting. What services will firms offer in 3–5 years? How will they price work, train juniors, and stay relevant? Participants will discuss emerging models, changing power dynamics, and how to deliver value in an AI-driven legal landscape.
Beyond billables: Reimagining the GC-Law Firm relationship in the AI era
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. We’ll explore how in-house teams are evolving outside counsel guidelines, the move from billable hours to knowledge-sharing partnerships, and strategies to overcome tech compatibility issues. This interactive session will examine how both sides can rethink collaboration and legal service delivery in a world where technology handles the routine.
Rewriting the rules: Women shaping legaltech across functions
Chioma Wilson-Dike Co-Founder of Lexlytic and Community Manager, Nigerian LegalTech Network

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
and policy.
