Legal Futures Innovation Conference 2021

16 November 2021

The Legal Futures Innovation Conference has always looked to showcase those at the cutting edge and 2021’s event was no different. Our session on New Ways to Practise Law featured an amazing variety of firms, from one offering litigation concessions to law firms and a business with both regulated and unregulated firms, to the solicitor who set up an unregulated employment law business and successfully sold it last year.

We heard from some of the growing number of consolidators in the market and about the many ways to finance innovation now, including private equity and public listing.
