Tiger Bytez - Bringing Conveyancing into the 21st Century
2022-01-26 12:00 - 13:00
Tiger Bytez co-founders Scott Elliot and Simon Riess will take attendees through a journey of conveyancing to date and the market frustrations that lead to the creation of the conveyancing chatbot. The problem that conveyancers have in the present day, is that their work is often an administrative burden.
Tiger Law experienced these issues and needed a solution to their endless paper trails and demand for more work in the same amount of time for the same cost. By building and utilising the conveyancing chatbot, a shift in focus towards greater client satisfaction has been achieved as a result of relieving smaller tasks that can be automated. The time saved using the chatbot has therefore lead to greater revenue by having the capacity for more work.
The solution and future is Tiger Bytez- bringing conveyancing into the 21st century.

UKLTA- Mental Health Awareness Week
2022-05-13 12:00 - 13:00
According to an article published by the Law Society Gazette, before the pandemic, lawyers had one of the most stressful jobs.
With many changes over the past few years, including many people working from home, and becoming heavily reliant on technology to complete their work and communicate with clients, combining home and work life, or even returning to the office after an extended break, how do we feel the state of mental health for workers within the legal sector has changed, and are lawyers and legal professionals experiencing more or less stress?
Hosted by Mary Ibrahim, Content Specialist, and Diversity and Inclusion Committee Member, vLex (Chair). Since graduating in Law from the University of Greenwich, Mary has become a Product Technology & Content Specialist at vLex, an award-winning provider of legal technology, member of the vLex Diversity and Inclusion Committee and creator of the legal research competition DICTUM.
Mary will be joined by Louise Hewitt, Director, Innocence Project. Louise has been an academic lawyer for over ten years and Director of the Innocence Project London since 2017 having co-founded it in 2010. Louise is also the Director of Undergraduate Research for the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, at the University of Greenwich.
Also joining the discussion is Elizabeth Rimmer, Chief Executive, LawCare. Elizabeth started her working life as a solicitor specialising in clinical negligence. She has been managing and developing charities in the mental health sector for over 15 years, and joined LawCare as Chief Executive in 2014.

Members Board Meeting
2022-05-24 13:00 - 14:00
Quarterly Meeting for UKLTA Board Members.

Adoption of legal tech: Why it doesn’t happen on its own
2022-05-25 12:00 - 13:00
Lots of discussion about legal technology is driven by buzzwords. Things you could do, the promise of artificial intelligence and complex data science.
Legal tech start-ups are widespread now, producing apps that look like they were designed by Apple.
Against this background, it is easy to forget that less sexy topic of “getting stuff used”. Legal tech can help make things better for law firms, legal teams and everybody who interacts with them. But it has absolutely no hope of doing this if we are talking about technology in the absence of why anybody should ever care about using it.
In this session, Jack Shepherd, Legal Practice Lead at iManage will discuss why legal tech adoption doesn’t happen on its own, and how to deliver it.

How can SME law firms leverage the right data and technology strategy to provide better services to employees and customers.
2022-06-15 12:00 - 13:00
As part of our UKLTA101 series, Andy Clarke, Chief Technology Officer at Rradar discusses how law firms can investigate, choose and start adopting legal technology for use within their practice.

LegaMart : Raising Womens' voices in legal tech
2022-11-16 12:00 - 13:00
Join Sanaz Javadi Farahzadi, Legal Network Manager at Legamart to discuss ‘Raising Womens voices in Legal Tech’.
Support networks for women are critical in allowing women to identify with other women and navigate their way through issues. More women in legal tech means more quality mentors available to help guide and develop up and coming entrepreneurs, while adding to the richness of the sector.
If more women are to be successful in the legal tech industry, changes need to be implemented that make it more equitable for women to start-up in the sector and grow their business beyond a micro-business. More women visible in the sector means greater diversity in the industry and more support available.
LegaMart and its Women’s Initiative is proud to announce Women in Tech, to highlight a community of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Our main goal is to create a platform for women in STEM and legal professionals, technology providers and consumers of legal services and share their experiences, knowledge, and background on Intellectual Property, tech law, data protection and etc.

2023-03-02 08:00 - 17:00, 2023-03-22 11:00 - 12:00
With more tension on the market these days, investors are exercising greater scrutiny over deals with a particular focus on the technology. However, greater scrutiny doesn’t mean no risks; it means being aware of them and having a plan.
If you’re a company preparing for an investment, fundraising or sale, it’s important to have a comprehensive understanding of potential issues that could impact your value, including assessing the use of Open-Source Software (OSS) within your technology.
Join Kristin, Senior Legal Officer at Vaultinum, as she speaks about how companies can confidently prepare for fundraising or investment by conducting a ‘health check’ of their technology through automated scanning, which analyses every line of code to identify possible cyber vulnerabilities, intellectual property issues, and maintainability risks -– all of which will help to maximise the value of the deal.
