19th Managing Partners Forum 2026

As we look ahead to 2026, the legal profession stands at an inflection point. Technological acceleration—especially in artificial intelligence—rising client expectations and fast‑moving regulatory frameworks are reshaping how legal services are delivered, valued, and governed.

​Competitiveness now hinges on agility: the ability to adapt business models, talent strategies, and operational workflows with speed and purpose. In this environment, embracing change is not optional; it is the prerequisite for resilience, relevance, and sustainable growth.

​The 19 Managing Partners Forum programme will examine the forces redefining our landscape: the practical deployment of AI and emerging technologies; the future of work and talent in a multigenerational workforce; evolving regimes in data privacy, cybersecurity, and cross‑border regulation; and the strategic imperative of environmental sustainability.

The Managing Partners Forum brings together managing partners and industry innovators to map and understand what is over the horizon. It is a unique opportunity to gain personal, practical insights as a managing partner—and join peers to exchange experiences that set the course for 2026 and beyond.
