Law Firm Growth Summit 2026
| The first Legal Futures Law Firm Growth Summit took place on 18 March 2026 in London. Attended by over 250 people, the conference brought together leaders, innovators, investors and others who are changing the way that law firms approach growth. While traditional M&A remains an integral part of the picture, the spike in private equity investment has upped the stakes. And from acquisition by accountants and other non-legal businesses to employee ownership, ‘houses of brands’ and backing from alternative sources like litigation funders, there are more options than ever. This event heard from those blazing a trail in this new world, and brought law firm leaders together with those who can fuel their growth. For more Legal Events visit our main events page.
