LegalEx will be returning on 22-23 November 2022 at ExCeL London.
At LegalEx 2021 we invited leading experts to share insights on how to improve your legal services, tech, diversity and wellbeing in one place.
We understand the importance of your professional development and appreciate how costly in both time and money this can be, so this year our free content sessions also allowed you to develop professionally and gain accredited CPD points.
Criminal barrister and TV host Robert Rinder joined us to discuss what we, the legal community, can do about legal aid's current state of crisis.
Law is meaningless unless everybody in our community has access to it. Since LAPSO in 2012, legal aid services are on the brink of collapse due to successive cuts and the impact of Covid-19.
A growing number of defendants have no lawyer or access to any legal advice when facing criminal charges, which drives more hearings and can end up costing more. Of course, unrepresented defendants often don’t understand some legal concepts, such as the difference an early guilty plea makes in sentencing.
There are also severe problems are among criminal specialists. Is there a future for young lawyers going into the profession as legal aid-funded criminal solicitors?
In this Keynote session, Stephanie explored the role the Law Society can play in the modernisation of the legal profession and discussed the successful impact a diversified workforce can have on a firm. From diversity of thought and innovation to attracting top talent, gaining new clients and increasing economic growth, diversity is a necessity and ensures the law remains open and accessible for all.
