Leading the future of legal work:
AI, automation & agentic innovation
The Hong Kong AI & Legal Tech Forum 2026 brings together leading minds from across law firms, corporate legal teams, and cross functional departments to explore how AI is reshaping the legal operating model at its core. As GenAI evolves into autonomous, agentic workflows and deep research capabilities redefine legal analysis, the profession stands at a pivotal moment: AI is no longer a tool — it is becoming legal infrastructure.
This year’s forum examines how legal professionals can navigate this shift with confidence. From mastering research literacy and evaluating ROI to building defensible governance frameworks and aligning enterprise strategy, attendees will gain a grounded, practical roadmap for scaling AI responsibly. Discover how these technologies enable lawyers to elevate judgment, deliver strategic value, and lead their organisations through this era of rapid reinvention. The 2026 program highlights the essential skills, insights, and leadership approaches needed to thrive in an AI-powered legal world.
