In just a short time, the rise of AI and generative AI has moved from experimentation to real deployment in firms, and 2026 is shaping up as a pivotal year to separate genuine transformation from hype. How do we distinguish marketing promises from measurable impact?  Where do we, as professionals, fit in this evolving landscape are we at risk of automating ourselves out of a job, or are we using AI to enhance our value, improve client outcomes, and redesign the way legal work is done?

As we move deeper into this uncharted territory, it is critical to reflect on the effects on our practices, our clients, and our own skills and career paths.

​

Now in its seventh year, the Lawtech Asia Summit 2026 will be a vital platform for grappling with these questions. The program will go beyond AI's rapid progress to tackle cybersecurity, data and regulatory compliance, and the broader digital transformation of law firms—and what all of this means in practical, day‑to‑day terms.

Bringing together leaders, innovators, and practitioners across the region, the Summit serves as a hub for learning and for uniting the legal tech community, enabling open discussion, sharing of hard‑won experiences, and building the connections needed to navigate the next phase of technological change.
