Welcome to The Alternative Legal IT Conference
Many legal IT events are aimed at the largest firms in the country, most of whom have problems that are completely different to the mid-tier and spending power way beyond that of smaller firms. The alternative Legal IT Conference will focus only on the needs of medium-sized firms with appropriate speakers, case studies and solutions.
This is a by-invitation-only event. To register your interest please complete and return the applications form.

Why you should attend this event?
The Alternative Legal IT conference is the definitive event for mid-sized firms wishing to enhance their IT function and streamline processes in a challenging economic environment.
There will be presentations and discussion on both the external issues facing mid-tier firms, such as new technologies and the Legal Services Act, and the internal issues that continue to be a headache, such as meeting the needs of users, working within a partnership, and getting more out of existing systems. You will hear speakers exclusively from mid-tier firms, who aren’t on the usual conference circuit, and who you would not meet otherwise.
