Inside Practice's 2025 Agenda – Part 1

December 10, 2024

AUTHOR Daniel Smallwood

2024 is winding down, but as always, our eyes are on the horizon.


While we pause to reflect on this year's incredible journey, our team is already deeply engaged in shaping 2025.


The legal profession is navigating an inflection point. The convergence of technological innovation, evolving global sustainability imperatives, and shifting client and workforce expectations are accelerating transformative disruption. These challenges and opportunities will demand a recalibration of how law is practiced, taught, and led.


I'm excited to share a preview of what's ahead in the first half of 2025.


March: Leading with Talent and ESG

We hit the ground running in March with The Human Side of Legal Tech: Teams, Talent, and Change Management, hosted by Chapman, where we will rethink leadership and talent strategies amid rapid change in an emerging AI-driven world environment.  We then go online for Legal ESG: Latin America, which offers a unique lens to examine the regional ESG challenges and opportunities across South America.


April: Governance, Data, and Innovation

We start April in London, tackling the complexities of ESG reporting with ESG Data, Reporting, & Disclosures: London, quickly followed by Law Firm Data Strategy & Modernization: London, which explores how firms are transforming their data practices into a competitive advantage.


We close the month in New York at our AI x KM forum, addressing how KM professionals and Innovation teams are transforming into architects of AI integration, curators of advanced knowledge systems, and guardians of ethical AI usage—while in London (on the same day) addressing compliance, regulatory risk, and misinformation at Greenwashing: London.


May: Canada, Wellbeing, and Economic Resilience

In May, we focus inward, addressing the wellbeing of legal professionals and the economic strategies that sustain their work.


This busy month starts with the unique ESG challenges and opportunities within the Canadian legal profession at Legal: ESG Toronto, hosted by Gowling WLG.


Following our 2024 London program, Legal Wellbeing: New York will provide strategic approaches to fostering workplaces where resilience, health, and performance go hand in hand.


Legal Economics will explore the future of billing, compensation, and profitability, providing practical strategies for firms to thrive in a shifting economic landscape.


We close out May with The Future of Litigation Management which will examine how AI is changing every aspect of litigation, from discovery to trial strategy.


June: ESG Leadership

The year's first half culminates in June with a return to London for our 3rd Annual Legal ESG: London. Over two days, Legal ESG: London and the Legal ESG: Awards / UK will redefine the role of lawyers, their firms, and their clients in advancing sustainable and responsible legal practices.


In Part 2, I'll share what's in store for the second half of 2025.

Inside the Agenda: How Law Firms Are Rethinking Client Intelligence

By Inside Practice • July 28, 2026
The Last Mile of Client Intelligence: A First Look at the 2026 Chicago Agenda Law firms have spent years building the machinery of client intelligence: CRM platforms, experience databases, financial analytics, competitive intelligence functions, relationship-mapping tools and, increasingly, AI. The volume of available information has grown considerably. The commercial return remains uneven. While 78% of firms have a CRM, only 7% use it effectively. The difficulty is rarely a complete absence of data. It appears when that data must reach the right person, at the right moment, in a form they trust enough to act upon. That operational challenge shapes the agenda for Inside Client Intelligence , taking place in Chicago on November 4, 2026. The one-day program brings together leaders working across business development, CRM, marketing, analytics, knowledge, innovation and client strategy to examine how firms can convert information into sharper decisions, stronger relationships and measurable growth.

Knowledge management is having its most consequential moment since the 1990s

By Inside Practice • July 27, 2026
The AI performance gap is, at its core, a knowledge management problem. Firms are discovering that powerful tools do not automatically produce results. Only 19% of firms report measurable AI productivity gains, according to PwC, even though 85% are at some stage of AI adoption. PwC's 2026 AI Performance Study sharpens the point across the wider economy: 74% of AI's financial gains are being captured by just 20% of organisations, while the majority remain stuck in pilot mode. The tools are not the bottleneck. The knowledge infrastructure beneath them is. Where KM is genuinely AI-ready, firms report retrieval time falling by as much as 65%. That realisation is driving the most significant transformation in legal KM since the profession first formalised the function in the early 1990s, and it is the organising premise of Inside Legal KM: London , a one-day, in-person working forum taking place at 10 Union Street on September 17, 2026. This is not a showcase. It is a peer-led, implementation-focused programme built around real architectures, working patterns, and production controls, convening KM leaders, PSLs, knowledge lawyers, librarians, legal operations, IT, innovation, and risk teams.

From Hidden Strain to Organisational Responsibility: Rethinking Neurodivergence, Trauma and Wellbeing in Law

By Inside Practice • July 27, 2026
Inside Practice has launched a dedicated Legal Wellbeing platform and made two recent webinar replays publicly available ahead of Legal Wellbeing London this September. The pressures affecting wellbeing in the legal profession are often difficult to see. A lawyer may appear to be performing at a high level while expending enormous energy masking neurodivergent traits. Another may continue delivering for clients while repeated exposure to traumatic material, distressed individuals or high-conflict matters gradually changes how they think, feel and respond. Over recent weeks, Inside Practice has examined both forms of hidden strain through two specialist webinars. The full replays are now publicly available, giving legal leaders, people teams and practitioners an opportunity to revisit the discussions and share them more widely. The webinars also form part of a broader development: the launch of Legal Wellbeing , Inside Practice’s new dedicated intelligence platform for the profession. The site brings together regular briefings, research and data, event information and resources covering lawyer mental health, neurodivergence, psychological safety, leadership accountability and the future of legal work. It gives these discussions a permanent home and creates continuity between briefings, webinars and live events. That continuity matters. The challenges raised in both webinars do not fit neatly within a single wellbeing initiative or annual awareness week. They affect how work is allocated, how performance is interpreted, how managers respond to warning signs and how firms discharge their responsibilities to people working under sustained pressure. The platform will keep those questions visible between live discussions.

The pilots are running. Can legal AI make the leap to enterprise?

By Inside Practice • July 20, 2026
Legal AI Toronto brings Canadian legal leaders together on October 27 to turn AI pilots into governed, measurable, enterprise-wide value.
