The Alternative Legal IT Conference is an invitation-only event for Managing Partners and CEO’s from the UK legal mid-market, bringing together law firm leaders with the vision

to innovate, collaborate and transform their businesses.

Now in its 3rd year, the Summit is a gathering of serious, like-minded managing partners, all planning for tomorrow, all

ensuring they leave their firms better than they found them.

As the largest event of its kind in the UK, the Summit offers you a unique opportunity to meet the ultimate

decision-makers in mid-market firms. No other event will put you face-to-face with so many managing partners, managing

directors and CEOs – all of whom have the final say on spending and procurement in their law firms and who are

Delegate feedback

This is the UK’s no. 1 legal technology event exclusively for mid-tier law firms. No other event is bigger or better established

We offer you access to 200 hand-picked IT directors, CTOs, CIOs and heads of IT in mid-market UK law firms. Attendance is invitation-only and restricted to your target market

We guarantee a ratio of no higher than 3 delegates to every 1 supplier. The audience is not diluted by non-sponsoring vendors, suppliers or consultants

Our programme is always genuinely “alternative” - focused, research-led, engaging, entertaining and varied – allowing you to associate your brand with premium content

Our new, upgraded venue – De Vere Beaumont Estate in Windsor - offers you and your clients a beautiful environment and a relaxed atmosphere, with great food and wine and plenty of time for networking and socialising

For the second year running, the Alternative Legal IT Conference has outgrown its venue. This year we move to a stunning hotel in Windsor – the De Vere Beaumont Estate.

An 18th-century mansion in Old Windsor with a chapel, 75 event spaces and a Georgian white house in 40 acres of parkland grounds.

Set close to the River Thames, the hotel is just 3 miles from Windsor, minutes from J13 of the M25 and 15 minutes from Heathrow.
