About Legal Leadership Summit
What is Legal Leadership Summit?
Globally, the Legal Market sector is undergoing a period of significant disruption due to the impact of new LegalTech and alternative operating models coupled with the internal pressures on legal functions to be more commercially focused and to do more with less. Covid 19 will accelerate the move to increased use of digital and new operating models.
The Legal Leadership Summit provides attendees and clients with a forum to discuss and understand the forces of disruption including Artificial Intelligence, Digital transformation and Regulation as they relate specifically to the Legal Sector.
This is a unique opportunity for delegates to network and to hear from a compelling line up of legal industry leading speakers on a broad range of pertinent topics.
