The CLOC Europe Summit is an annual event organized by the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC), a global community dedicated to transforming the business and practice of law. The 2027 Summit is scheduled for February 4, 2027, and will be held in London, UK. This interactive, one-day event is designed for active participation and real-world problem-solving, bringing together legal operations professionals from across Europe to exchange ideas and address shared challenges.
The 2027 Summit will focus on several key themes: the evolution of the legal department into multidisciplinary teams that combine operations, data, and technology expertise; the convergence of legal, IT, and business functions to drive smarter decisions; the shift from advocacy to results, emphasizing impact and accountability; and the role of professionals with legal, technical, and business skills in leading change and building scalable, data-driven models for legal value delivery. The program is developed in partnership with the CLOC Europe Advisory Committee.
Attendees can expect a dynamic agenda featuring community conversations, keynote presentations, and networking opportunities. The event will also include an expo hall where solution providers will showcase tools that support smarter legal operations. Notable speakers include Áine Lyons from Workday, who serves as the CLOC Board Member & Europe Lead, and other leaders from organizations such as Deloitte, Norton Rose Fulbright, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Adidas, Heineken, Schneider Electric, Repsol, Kingsley Napley LLP, and Perk.
The CLOC Europe Summit is ideal for legal operations professionals, in-house counsel, law firm professionals, and solution providers who are eager to collaborate, share best practices, and advance the profession. It offers a focused environment to work through shared challenges, test ideas, and learn from one another, making it a must-attend event for those committed to transforming the business and practice of law.
