OVERVIEW

What could your firm do with data it could trust?

  • Which clients are we really working for?
  • What does a matter cost to deliver?
  • Which sources should an AI system rely on? Where could we give clients a better answer?


These are different questions, but each depends on information that is accurate, connected, properly understood and available for the intended use.


Inside Legal Data: London 2027 will explore the decisions behind making that happen.


  • Who takes responsibility for data quality?
  • How should client, matter, document and financial records connect? What makes information suitable for AI?
  • And how do firms establish whether their investment has improved performance or created something clients value?

The programme connects business priorities with the work of data, technology, knowledge, finance and information governance teams. Its starting point is a practical problem to solve, not a particular platform to buy.


Whether you are establishing basic ownership and definitions or developing data-enabled client services, the aim is to identify the next useful step and the evidence that would show it is working.

SIX Core Themes

What We're Examining

From trusted information to better legal services.

Six connected themes follow the work from setting priorities and improving the foundations to governing use, measuring results and building services clients value.

01 / 06

Data Strategy, Ownership & Accountability

Who is responsible for making the firm’s data better—and do they have the authority to act?


Explore the roles, funding decisions and working practices behind a useful data strategy.


Examine business ownership, stewardship, quality standards and prioritisation, including how to improve data capture without placing unnecessary demands on lawyers. 

The focus is on clear decisions and responsibilities, not governance structures that exist only on paper.

02 / 06

Connected Foundations & Common Definitions

Can the firm recognise the same client, matter and work across different systems?


Examine how client identities, matter classifications and shared definitions connect information across intake, document management, CRM, practice management and finance.


Explore standards, integration and reconciliation without assuming every firm needs to replace its technology.

The aim is to establish which records must become reliable first—and what that would make possible.

03 / 06

AI-Ready Data & Controlled Automation

What makes information fit for a particular AI task?


Explore source quality, context, permissions, version control and testing through practical legal workflows. Distinguish finding information, generating an answer and allowing a system to take action.

The focus is on knowing which sources a tool should use, how its output should be checked and where human approval remains necessary—not treating “AI-ready” as a label applied to everything the firm holds.

04 / 06

Rights, Lifecycle & Responsible Reuse

Who can use this information, for which purposes and for how long?


Work through confidentiality, privilege, personal data, client terms, licensing, retention and deletion as distinct questions.


Consider existing records alongside prompts, outputs, logs and other information created by new workflows.

The aim is to establish a practical route to legitimate use, with clear responsibilities and escalation where the answer is uncertain.

05 / 06

Performance, Profitability & Better Decisions

What changed for the firm or client—and can the data demonstrate it?


Examine how reliable information can support matter planning, cost analysis, resource allocation, delivery quality and client reporting.


Distinguish predicted savings from observed improvements, and time released from financial value actually realised.

The discussion will focus on useful baselines, meaningful comparisons and measures that help people make better decisions rather than simply produce more reports.

06 / 06

Client-Facing Data Services & Products

When does better information become something a client will use and value?


Explore contract intelligence, claims analysis, portfolio risk, regulatory monitoring and other data-enabled services.


Start with the client’s decision, then examine the information, legal expertise and ongoing maintenance needed to support it.

When bespoke analysis should become a repeatable service—and when buying or partnering makes more sense than building?

COMING SOON

Speaking Faculty

The programme is designed to bring together those who own the business decisions and those who make the data work: law firm and in-house leaders, data practitioners, knowledge professionals, finance teams and information governance specialists.


The emphasis will be on implementation: what was changed, how decisions were made, what happened next and what others can learn from the experience.


Speakers will be announced as they are confirmed.


Have a case study worth sharing?


We are interested in work that makes the choices visible. Tell us about the problem you addressed, the information you needed, what you changed and the results or limitations you can discuss.


Cases from firms of different sizes, in-house teams and across the UK’s legal jurisdictions are welcome. A useful lesson does not require a large budget or a perfect outcome.
