AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS

How to create a thriving workplace culture

Jodie Hill, Managing Partner, Thrive Law

Jodie Hill is a neurodivergent solicitor, and founder of Thrive Law, the UK’s first law firm focused on wellbeing and mental health. With a background in employment law and a passion for ED&I and neurodiversity, Jodie will share strategies for fostering a thriving workplace culture in a law firm.

The drafting dilemma: When to go AI, when to go automation

Catherine Bamford, Founder, BamLegal

GenAI is everywhere right now – but not every drafting task needs it. In this fast-paced session, Catherine Bamford will share a practical framework to help you decide when to use GenAI tools and when a rules-based, automated solution is a better fit. Expect real-life use cases from law firms like yours, clear criteria to guide your decisions, and honest insights into what’s working (and what’s not). If you want to improve efficiency, manage risk, and actually deliver value with drafting tech – this session is for you.

The Law Society: Partners in technology adoption

Ian Jeffery, CEO, The Law Society

Join Ian Jeffery as he highlights the Law Society’s role in supporting members’ adoption of current and emerging technology. Ian will discuss practical resources that focus on ensuring your adoption of new tools is ethical, compliant and effective in practice

How to make an offer they can’t refuse

Tara Waters, Founder, TLW Consulting

This interactive workshop equips you with proven tactics and strategies for articulating value, mapping clear implementation and success measurement steps, and creating proposals that decision-makers simply can’t refuse. Leave your frustrations, take away an airtight business case (and maybe some sweet desserts).

Finding the regulation and innovation sweet spot

Janis Wong, Policy Advisor – Data and Technology Law and Nick Denys, Head of Private and Commercial Law,
The Law Society

In this session, Janis and Nick will tackle the age-old question of whether regulation helps or hinders progress on technology for the legal profession. Amidst uncertainty in both digital advancements and regulation, we will provide an overview of the current policy landscape and insight into how we can make regulation work for us in supporting technological adoption and innovation.

"Legal Geek Growth is a non-negotiable in my calendar - they have broken the mould with their innovative approach to legal events."
