IGNITE Programme

Law is not what it used to be. New technology will shake up our sector and revolutionise it as it has for most other major sectors of the economy. The speed of change will only get faster. That’s where you come in.

We will lead and shape this new reality. And be at the forefront of law’s technological evolution. But to do that, we need to include within our pool of legal talent a set of thinkers focused particularly on the exciting possibilities that Tech affords our business – whose preoccupation is liberating Tech to revolutionise the way we work.

It is events season and we are looking forward to getting to meet as many of you as possible over the next few months. We'll be holding events throughout the UK from September through to December, so take a look at our events calendar to see if we are coming to you.
