The LegalTech in Leeds Conference 2025 will take place on 24th April 2025, and the full day conference aims to once again deliver the UK’s largest LegalTech event outside London, with more than 250 people expected to attend on the day.
This year’s theme, People & Technology, underscores the critical role of individuals, technology and innovation in driving the adoption of LegalTech and reshaping the legal sector. The conference is expected to attract an audience across LegalTech innovators, large, mid-sized and SME law firms, in-house legal teams, tech providers, industry experts, and key partners from legal and professional education, including students.
Building on feedback from the 2024 conference, the 2025 event has evolved to reflect what our community values most. Attendees will benefit from extended networking opportunities, offering more time to connect with peers and industry leaders, hear firsthand insights from Legal and LegalTech experts, and explore the latest developments in LegalTech.
This year, we’ve moved to Cloth Hall Court, a renowned, centrally located venue in the heart of Leeds that is conveniently accessible via city transportation, made possible through our valued sponsorship with the University of Leeds, whose support underscores their commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in the region.
Catherine Thristan, Director of External Engagement (Partnerships and Executive Education) at Leeds University Business School said:
It has been a pleasure to host the LegalTech in Leeds Annual Conference in conjunction with Whitecap consulting for the last two years. Collaborating with external stakeholders is an integral part of the work of our Business School, and we are looking forward to this year’s discussions on the theme of ‘People and Technology’.
The conference will explore the interplay between people and technology, focusing on three key areas:
AI adoption and innovation will have a strong focus throughout the event, with sessions showcasing the potential of AI in innovating legal practices. Experts from academia, technology, and law will lead discussions on how organisations can train and reskill professionals to deploy AI effectively and responsibly within their businesses.
LegalTech in Leeds is more than just an event; it’s a movement dedicated to fostering collaboration between the legal and tech sectors. It positions Leeds as a regional hub of LegalTech innovation while addressing the key national challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the industry.
