Legal Tech In Leeds Annual Conference

Leeds is Hosting the UK's Biggest LegalTech Conference Outside London, and you're Invited The LegalTech in Leeds Annual Conference is back. On Thursday 21 May 2026, over 200 legal and technology professionals will come together at The Rose Bowl, Leeds Beckett University for a full day of keynotes, panels, fireside chats and a live LegalTech showcase. Now in its fourth year, this is the largest LegalTech conference outside London -- and this year's programme is the most ambitious yet. This year's theme: turning ambition into action We have all heard the conversation about LegalTech. The question for 2026 is what we actually do about it. This year's theme, The drive to adoption: turning LegalTech ambition into action, is built around exactly that. Sessions will focus on embedding technology into real legal operations, shifting culture to support innovation, navigating an evolving regulatory landscape, and making LegalTech work for firms of every size. Speakers include Johan Häger, CEO and Co-founder of Aloi, Peter Ambrose from Legalito, and Beth Fellner, Director of Legal Geek, alongside perspectives from the Bar Standards Board on AI guidance for the Bar. There will also be an investor perspectives panel and a LegalTech showcase featuring innovations from across the region and beyond. The conference is delivered in partnership with Leeds Law School at Leeds Beckett University and LawTech UK, the national body working to accelerate technology adoption across the legal sector, bringing national reach and programming insight to an event that has always been proudly rooted in Leeds. Backed by some of the biggest names in LegalTech This year's conference has attracted world-class sponsors whose involvement reflects the growing national significance of what is being built here in Leeds. Clio, one of the world's leading legal practice management platforms, returns as a primary sponsor for the second consecutive year.
