Legal Tech Pulse in 2025: Budgets, AI, and Efficiency

Overview

Building on Last Year’s Insights – Real-World Perspectives from Legal Leaders

What’s on the horizon for legal tech? Join Thomson Reuters and Legal 500 for our annual session, where we’ll dig into the latest survey results and explore what they mean for in-house legal teams in 2025.

Building on last year’s findings—which brought together honest, real-life views from GCs and senior legal professionals—we’ll be looking at how things have shifted, what’s stayed the same, and where the biggest opportunities now lie. Topics include:

  • Budgets and buy-in – Are legal teams setting aside budget for tech? And how easy is it to get leadership on board? Hear how others are making the case for investment and managing constraints.
  • Tech that delivers – Which tools are actually moving the needle? We’ll explore where legal teams are focusing their efforts, and what’s working (or not).
  • Gen AI in practice – How far along are teams with Gen AI? How does this compare to last year? And what real value are they seeing from it so far
  • Managing contracts and spend – What are the sticking points, and where can tech make a real difference? Find out how teams are handling increasing pressure to do more with less.

If you’re keen to get a feel for where the market’s heading, hear what your peers are up to, and pick up some practical insights, this one’s not to be missed.
