International law firm Allen & Overy has announced that it will be holding the first General Counsel Forum in Luxembourg on Tuesday 8 October 2019 at its offices in Luxembourg-Kirchberg.
The forum, the first of its kind in the Grand Duchy, is set to become an annual event. It aims to create a new legal best practice community and an exclusive network for in-house Counsel in Luxembourg. The chosen topic for this year’s event is legal technology (legaltech) and innovation.
The event will bring together established legaltech companies from Fuse, Allen & Overy’s collaborative London innovation space, as well as other legaltech experts and senior legal and compliance professionals to learn, discuss and leverage new opportunities to advance their tech agendas.
Commenting on the forum, Senior Partner of Allen & Overy (Luxembourg), Patrick Mischo, said: “As businesses are evolving, so is the role of the general counsel. Our first General Counsel Forum will offer attendees lessons learned from our collaboration between legal, business and technology, as well as debates on how the legal profession can move ahead and expand its horizons”.
Programme highlights include a welcome address and discussion of the "latest in legaltech" by Patrick Mischo and Shruti Ajitsaria (Partner, Head of Fuse at Allen & Overy, London), as well as talks on "deal management" by Saleh Abukmeil (Senior Manager at Global Legal Tech Group, London), "automated data extraction and machine learning" by Saran Kaur (Senior Manager at Global Legal Tech Group, London) and "contract life-cycle" by Peter Myners (Partner, Luxembourg) and Audrey Scarpa (Counsel, Head of Legal Tech team in Luxembourg). Allen & Overy's Luxembourg partners will also co-present case studies with Fuse cohort members.
