#LegalMgmt2027

Celebrate a decade of innovation at the UK’s LARGEST legal management event for mid-market law firms – now in it’s 11th year.

This is the ONLY event that brings together the key decision-makers from mid-tier law firms – managing partners, chief executive officers (CEOs), chief financial officers (CFOs) and chief operating officers (COOs).

The event will give you a curated, content-driven programme combined with plenty of chances to network and socialise. You’ll meet your peers in legal management, spend quality time engaging with them and leave having learnt new things and built meaningful relationships.

Our agenda is researched and designed for and by firm leaders – with a focus on helping to provide a strategic roadmap for your firm’s future sustainability and profitability.

The invitation-only hand-picked audience is exclusively C-suite. Only those who influence strategic growth and make investment decisions may attend.

Qualified delegates attend for free which includes dinner and overnight accommodation.

Reasons you should attend

Crossing generational bridges

Myths, managed

Through live audience voting and open debate, our panel will challenge some of the biggest assumptions facing law firms today, from growth and governance to AI, leadership and the next generation of talent. Cast your vote, hear the arguments and decide for yourself: fact, fiction, or more complicated than it seems?

Law firm leadership

Welcoming Back Dr Helena Boschi - A Decade of Change: Community Conversation

Hear the latest research from Dr Helena Boschi, followed by a panel of long-standing members of the Alternative community and the chair, to mark 10 years of the event. Together, they reflect on how leadership, work and expectations have evolved.

Future lawyers and leaders

Choice of Interactive Workshops

A selection of interactive workshops exploring how firms can be built for the future, addressing firm design from the ground up, succession planning and leadership transition, and the shift towards smarter pricing models.

Safeguarding sustainability and profitability

Solve big problems in a small room

Peer-led roundtables are a hallmark of this event. These no-holds-barred sessions offer real talk on PE and culture, successful firm integration and winning client strategies, grounded in candid peer exchange that turns shared experience into practical insight.

An excellent opportunity to listen to quality speakers and network with your peers in a relaxed environment
