    Paying it Forward

    Twenty years of looking at innovation in the legal sector. We started when no one really thought lawyers could or should innovate. Oxymoron was the most common word we heard in response to our idea of Innovative Lawyers. But here we are two decades on. Stronger than ever, with innovation embedded in the DNA of most thriving legal organisations. But, and here's the but. With all the changes we see now, in the business backdrop, the real landing of transformative artificial intelligence, a younger generation that is motivated differently, can we look to the past to see the future?

    Join us at a one-off event, where we bring the FT Innovative Lawyers alumni together with the leaders of the future, the movers and shapers of today for a pooling of ideas and experiences, imaginings and insights, to move the global legal profession forward. One day. One programme. One profession. 


    How is This Year Different?

    The rule of law is under continued attack, business markets are more volatile than ever, and the definition of a ‘lawyer’ in the age of AI is a contested one. It's more important than ever to join your peers and learn how the industry is adapting to overcome the challenges being faced today.

    To celebrate the Innovative Lawyers 20th anniversary, the summit will have a fresh approach this year. Across the day we will bring together the industry’s most distinguished leaders, who will pool the most pertinent lessons learnt over the past two decades, and a handful of young, next-generation interlocutors, who will challenge these ideas and bring fresh new views to the table in a Socratic-style debate.

    The day will end with a gala reception, where there will be food, drinks and celebrations as we announce the top 20 most innovative law firms and general counsels and release the FT special report. This is a great opportunity to celebrate and network with your peers in a less formal setting.
