Our Story

LegalTech in Leeds was first launched as a short-term initiative by Whitecap Consulting, supported by partners and sponsors, to deliver the recommendations of the Leeds City Region LegalTech and Innovation Report. What began as a one-off initiative quickly grew into a thriving community, culminating in our inaugural LegalTech in Leeds Conference in 2022.

Since then, LegalTech in Leeds has evolved into one of the UK’s most dynamic LegalTech communities, running over 60 events and attracting thousands of professionals from legal, technology, academia, and the public sector. With the guidance of our Advisory Board and the support of our sponsors, we continue to build momentum with conferences, hackathons, seminars, and networking that bring our community together.

‍

Where are we now?

With the support of multiple partners and sponsors, we are now continuing to develop an exciting programme of activity including seminars and workshops, networking drinks, our second annual conference and our first ever hackathon, as well as an update on the Leeds City Region LegalTech report.

We have also established a LegalTech in Leeds advisory board which meets every month to discuss the ongoing progress of the initiative and to ensure we remain committed to our aims and true to our values: Professional, Inclusive, Collaborative, Independent.
