Shiny Object Syndrome: avoiding tech regret
You’re the GC. Budget pressure is building. A vendor is offering 35% off - if you sign by Friday. What do you do? In this lively, interactive session, the Melius Law team recreates a realistic legal tech sales pitch and puts you in the buyer’s seat. You’ll spot red flags, pressure tactics and compare your experience with peers. This isn’t about vendor-bashing - it’s about clarity. Because the best legal tech outcomes happen when buyers know what good looks like, and ask better questions before they sign.

Keynote | The innovation lab: why Scaleup GCs will define the future of legal
The legal industry is transforming faster than any of us can keep up with, and the paralysis is real. But scaleup GCs have something the big players don't: the ability to move fast, experiment boldly, and redefine who (or what) delivers legal services in this new world. In this keynote, legal ops icon Mary O’Carroll reflects on insights gathered from legal ops, legal tech and private practice, looking to the future that’s waiting for those scaleup GCs ready to embrace it.
