The global LegalTech market is experiencing unprecedented growth and capital inflows (topping $4.5 billion in 2025 and on a trajectory to surpass that amount in 2026), driven in large part by the transformative impact of artificial intelligence. AI-powered tools are reshaping how legal services are delivered, from contract analysis and due diligence to litigation prediction and regulatory compliance.

Our expert panel will examine the forces shaping LegalTech today, including:

• The rise of AI in legal practice and how it is redefining workflows across the industry.
• Regulatory and ethical considerations surrounding AI-driven legal tools, including questions of accuracy, bias, privilege and the unauthorized practice of law.
• Investment trends and market dynamics, including where venture capital is flowing and what differentiates the startups that succeed.
• The evolving relationship between law firms, in-house legal teams, and technology providers as adoption accelerates.
