TechLaw Day 2025 - AI-driven economy – what issues does it raise for in-house lawyers?

This year, our flagship TechLaw event will take place at the Pan Pacific Hotel in central London on 15 October from 9:00 – 17:00 BST, followed by networking drinks. The day will feature valuable updates, insights, and discussions on key technology trends and their connection to legal developments. As always, we look forward to bringing together a community of legal, technology and business experts to share their insights.

This year’s TechLaw event will focus on legal issues immediately relevant to Tech lawyers, particularly issues associated in building AI driven businesses, including important and fast developing concerns around agentic AI. As AI technologies continue to evolve at a rapid pace, they bring not only groundbreaking possibilities but also an urgent need to take account of wider legal considerations, such as sustainability and power supply challenges, supply chain resilience, as well as the differing approaches to AI law and regulation around the world. The program will explore these broader themes around AI driven businesses, such as the pressing challenges of powering data centres, and will also examine recent contract law cases, sharing valuable insights and practical tips for drafting more effective agreements. Additionally, we will address key compliance considerations for AI implementation, with a particular emphasis on data usage, the impact of data localisation, and issues surrounding sovereignty.
