DATA / AI / INNOVATION / GOVERNANCE
The UK legal market enters 2026 at a structural inflection point.
Data is no longer a back-office concern but the organising principle of how legal work is priced, delivered, governed, and measured.
The past year has marked a tipping point in the modernization of data strategy within the UK legal sector. Law firms are recognizing that data has become a strategic imperative, not just something to collect and store, but a cornerstone of competitive strategy.
In 2025, UK law firms and corporate legal departments alike accelerated efforts to harness data and technology to transform how legal services are delivered. This transformation is driven by twin pressures: clients’ demand for greater value and efficiency, and the rapid advances in technology (especially artificial intelligence) that offer new ways to meet those demands.
The UK legal market is experiencing fundamental shifts as a result, from billing models and client expectations to internal operations and talent management.
In 2026 we’ll focus on:
- Market, Regulatory & Compliance Landscape
- Technology & Architecture: From Legacy Stacks to Operational Intelligence
- The Pillars of Modern Data Strategies
- Generative & Agentic AI: From Pilot Purgatory to Production
- Talent, Culture & the Human Interface
- In-House Counsel & Legal Operations: Demand-Side Rewiring
- Future Outlook: 2026 and Beyond
