Today, the legal and technology communities have come together once again at the iconic Rose Bowl, Leeds Beckett University, for the fifth annual LegalTech in Leeds Conference, a full day dedicated to big ideas, bold conversations and meaningful connections.
Recognised as one of the region’s leading LegalTech events, the conference brings together legal professionals, innovators, academics, investors and providers to explore how technology is reshaping the future of legal services. From AI adoption and investment opportunities to data trust, innovation and the evolving role of lawyers, this year’s programme offers a packed agenda of expert speakers, panel discussions and practical insights.
Attendees can expect keynote sessions including The Efficiency Advantage: How AI Is Rewriting the Rules for Modern Law Firms from Harry Black, alongside discussions exploring LegalTech implementation, AI adoption, innovation strategy and the changing landscape of legal work.
One of the standout moments of the afternoon will see rradar return to the conference stage following their success as winners of the 2025 Hackathon. During the Innovation in a Day: LTIL Hackathon session, led by Charlotte Carruthers and Kainaat Baig, the team will delve into their experience as last year’s hackathon champions and share what innovation under pressure really looks like. The session promises practical insight into how collaboration, creativity and fast-paced innovation can generate meaningful solutions within the legal sector.
Another highly anticipated afternoon discussion will feature Gary Gallen as part of the Investment Perspectives panel. The session will examine the LegalTech funding landscape, exploring what investors are looking for, where the biggest opportunities lie and what it really takes for LegalTech businesses to scale successfully in a competitive market.
The LegalTech sector is evolving rapidly with new initiatives, developments and innovation almost every week. That is why the LegalTech in Leeds Annual Conference will remain an important space for sharing ideas, challenging assumptions and building the relationships that will shape the future of the sector.
We are looking forward to an inspiring day of conversation, collaboration and innovation in Leeds. See you there.
