The Legal Growth Geek Conference 2023
On Wednesday 7th June, Commercial Solicitor Jack Crosthwaite and Marketing Manager Louis Hilldrup-Boorman attended the sold-out Legal Growth Geek Conference, in association with The Law Society.
The Conference, which took place in Shoreditch, London, set out to connect SME law firms with changemakers and industry leaders to create a positive impact on the legal profession. Law firms from across the country attended this event, alongside legal tech vendors, regulators and tech industry groups.
With a line-up of thirty speakers delivering short TED-style talks, interviews and panels, the overarching theme was technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. AI and ChatGPT, a chatbox tool that can automate responses to questions, conduct research and generate documentation, was a popular subject matter. Many of the speakers discussed the exciting opportunities created by implementing this tool within the legal profession whilst also noting the challenges, risks, and concerns.
”It was great to attend this forward-thinking conference, alongside my colleague Jack who is equally interested in legal tech. We heard from industry leaders, Law firm representatives, CEOs and founders of the latest legal tech and forged some valuable connections with likeminded individuals. Becoming a more sustainable business is one of our core values and we are always looking at ways to innovate and operate efficiently and progressively. It was really useful to hear from other firms who have adopted new technology, sharing ideas and comparing notes. We look forward to attending the Legal Geek Conference in October!’’
