Geo Legal: London is a premier conference organized by Inside Practice and Hence Technologies, focusing on the intersection of geopolitics and the legal profession. Scheduled for October 23, 2024, at the London offices of A&O Shearman, this event aims to address how global political and technological disruptions are reshaping the role of law and lawyers.
The conference will cover critical topics such as the erosion of the rule of law, the impact of live conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, the US-China cold war, and the weaponization of courts. Additionally, it will explore how technology, including AI, is transforming legal practices, from disinformation and propaganda to AI-powered lobbying and the evolving energy market.
Attendees can expect a comprehensive agenda featuring keynote addresses, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. Notable speakers include Sean West of Hence Technologies, Casey Flaherty of LexFusion, and Ffion Flockhart of A&O Shearman, among others. The event will also feature a GeoLegal Lab with expert keynote sessions diving into the geopolitical landscape.
This conference is ideal for legal professionals across the ecosystem, including in-house counsel, law firm practitioners, and legal tech entrepreneurs. It offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into navigating global risks and disruptions, understand the changing practice of law, and make informed decisions in an increasingly unstable and fragmented environment.
