How to progress in your law firm without digital burnout, in partnership with Leeds Trinity University

Leeds Trinity University is opening a city centre campus and creating an optional Legaltech module in its law school. The new module will be starting in 2026, meaning this year’s first year students years will do it.

Part of the university's strategy is to support staff and students with their wellbeing, and this event takes place the day before World Mental Health Day and will focus on the challenge of balancing a successful career with a sustainable work life balance.

Hear from a range of speakers about their experiences with the sector, and hear also from some entrepreneurs who have created businesses focused on enabling lawyers to deliver their work more effectively, and more enjoyably.
