LF Events

It is impossible to ignore the ever-increasing prominence of disruptive technology, with artificial intelligence the favourite topic of conversation. Delegates heard not only how technology is going to get better and more sophisticated but how to blend both the present and the future, looking at some of the exciting developments in legal businesses that are happening now.

At our fourth PI Futures conference, delegates heard about the current position with the reform agenda, what to consider if you are thinking about leaving the market altogether and how to claim a greater share in the market looking to a positive future.

At this year’s Annual Innovation Conference, delegates explored the hot issue of artificial intelligence and how it is being applied to the law now and in the future. AI might seem a long way in the future for most, but as a marker for the transformational impact technology is likely to have on the legal world, it is a powerful notion.

Delegates at this year’s PI Futures not only explored new structures and operators, but how to keep personal injury a profitable line of work, while ensuring access to justice for injured people.

At the second Click to Client conference, we introduced key players in the industry to share their wisdom and know-how on everything from confronting the digital challenge and the best digital marketing techniques to following through client calls and the key to client satisfaction.

The first Legal Futures Regulation and Compliance Conference brought together issues concerning the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Bar Standards Board and other regulators, foreshadowing the enactment of 2007 Legal Services Act.

This year’s Legal Futures Conference reflected more than ever how the face of the legal market is changing, and how entrepreneurs – both with a legal qualification and without – are the driving force behind this.

After last year’s success, PI Futures once again brought together leading figures in the claimant industry to debate what the coming changes would mean for the sector.

This conference highlighted the benefits and pitfalls of the various ways of operating online. As Legal Futures’ first digital event, it was a clear reflection of how the nature of legal marketing, and legal services more broadly, is changing.

This conference embodied what Legal Futures is about by showcasing innovation big and small and debating what the future of legal services will look like. With a range of speakers, it highlighted the novel techniques some are employing to demonstrate the way the market is heading.
