The Business of Law
Meet Our Cambridge Event Speakers
Fresh perspectives and practical insights
The Business of Law brings together experienced leaders from technology, professional services, corporate business and business transformation to challenge conventional thinking about how law firms operate.
Our speakers have led organisations, delivered major transformation programmes, introduced new technologies and developed strategies to improve growth, profitability and performance.
Rather than focusing on the practice of law, they will share perspectives from the wider business world, exploring what law firms can learn from other industries and how those lessons can be applied in practice.
Helping law firms build stronger, more efficient and more profitable businesses.
The People Behind the Conversation
Each of our speakers brings a distinct perspective to the challenges facing law firms today.
From the practical application of AI and technology to rethinking pricing, improving commercial performance and leading organisational change, their experience extends well beyond the legal profession.
Meet the people who will be sharing their insights and challenging the way we think about the business of law.
