Germany’s new
signature event
The legalXchange is an internationally oriented specialist congress with an accompanying trade fair. It is our aim to turn current developments into something that can be experienced, while enabling a glimpse into the world of tomorrow.
The programme is practice-orientated and serves as the interface between legal expertise and technological competence. We address professionals from both worlds and cover the entire spectrum – from the initial contact with legal tech all the way to the strategic implementation of innovative solutions in major law firms and enterprises as well as in the judiciary and public administration.
Programme Formats & Networking
legalXchange sees itself as both a gateway and a stage for German and European legal tech providers. In addition, it offers start-ups a stage to showcase innovation and build contacts within the German legal tech market. The event specifically promotes networking within the industry and beyond – connecting law firms, enterprises, the judiciary, public administration, universities and start-ups.
