It was my first time at Legal Tech Talk and so i wasn't sure what to expect.  When i arrived i was like many of the other attendees, lost in a sea of stages, vendors and talks that i didn't want to miss.  Over the two days i met some fantastic people and listened to some brilliant panels as well as experience the beer bike around the venue and the infamous after party.

I thought it would be handy to share the summaries of some of the best sessions I attended all in one place:

From Billable Hours To Business Impact: Reinventing The Lawyers Role

The panel consisted of Mark Wasserman (CEO Emeritus Eversheds Sutherland) as the moderator and making up the panel, Emily Gill (Co-Founder, Levra), Sue McLean (Partner, Bird & Bird), Jae Um (Co- Founder, Lumino Works) and Ben Allgrove (Chief Innovation Officer & Partner, Baker McKenzie).
