Legal Procurement Conference Asia-Pacific About the Legal Procurement Conference: This event is a powerful platform for buyers and sellers of legal services to network and learn, share best practices, launch new initiatives, get motivated, and inspire the legal industry as a whole. The conference encourages dialogue, discussion and debate both formally within the sessions and informally. The 2017 event was hosted by KPMG in Sydney and it was a tremendous success with attendees across senior in-house counsel, legal procurement professionals, law firms, alternative service providers and consultants coming together and discussing legal procurement, alternative pricing models, change and innovation in the legal industry. Introducing the 2018 program: The 2018 focus will be on "Making it Happen" and implementation of new approaches, processes and strategies to improve the ways in which legal services are procured and managed. Speakers will offer real-world examples, war stories, case studies, successes and failures, examples of tools, and insights on emerging issues. Specifically, you can look forward to: Numerous opportunities for networking An insight into legal procurement and the Asia-Pacific market The opportunity to engage with pioneers in legal procurement through interactive panels and sessions A unique opportunity to share ideas and debate issues and engage with both inhouse and law firm teams in the audience Understand how organisations are tackling digital transformation and innovation in the legal industry
