The prestigious Hotel Marmorosch in Bucharest is set to host a exciting event on February 7, 2024, where the intersection of technology and the legal sector will take centre stage. This extraordinary conference, “Bridging the Tech and the Legal Sectors,” will be held at Hotel Marmorosch, Doamnei Street, and will place a spotlight on the UK’s pivotal role in ‘Lawtech’, a unique initiative brought forth by the British Embassy in Bucharest.
Distinguished guests, prominent legal tech industry leaders, and key stakeholders will gather to explore the overarching theme of “Why LawTech Matters.”
The opening keynote speech will be delivered by Christina Blacklaws, Chair of LawtechUK and the Judicial Pension Board. Her address will focus on harnessing technology to enhance access to justice, promote diversity and inclusion, and ethically future-proof legal services.
The event will feature panel discussions and presentations highlighting the government-backed initiative, LawtechUK, a pioneering program at the forefront of modernising the UK’s legal sector. Supported by an initial £2 million grant from the Ministry of Justice, LawtechUK has played a pivotal role in propelling lawtech and digital transformation within the industry. A second phase of the program, funded by a £4 million investment, will explore cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning and data analytics tools.
A highlight of this prestigious conference is the keynote speech by Chris Handford, Director of Regulatory Policy at the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Handford will share insights into the SRA’s commitment to fostering innovation and creating an environment where legal businesses can boldly leverage technology to provide enhanced services to the public.
Throughout the day, panel discussions will address critical issues, including the challenges of futureproofing the legal sector while upholding ethical standards, addressing emergent risks, and ensuring transparent decision-making in the AI realm across both public and private sectors.
Amidst the ample networking opportunities during the lunch break, attendees will have the privilege of witnessing case studies showcasing how AI is already being deployed within the legal sector. Among the esteemed presenters is Verify 365, a leading legal technology client onboarding platform, selected to attend this event by the British Embassy in Bucharest.
