2026 Agenda

AI is not just making legal work faster — it is reshaping how that work is valued, priced, and delivered. Traditional leverage and billing models are under pressure as clients adopt the technology themselves and expect their advisors to match that proficiency. New business models are emerging, barriers to entry are falling, and the competitive landscape is widening. Firm structures are being redesigned around multidisciplinary teams, risk is being redefined, new capabilities are required at every level, and the role of the lawyer is expanding beyond traditional boundaries. This demands a different kind of leadership — one that embraces technology and builds firms/organisations fit for a fundamentally different market. Are you ready?
