Adapting to a legal landscape in flux. Why InfoTrack 2025 matters

In a time marked by extraordinary technological disruption and regulatory overhaul, the legal profession faces a defining question: how can firms remain relevant, competitive, and trusted amidst unrelenting change?

InfoTrack 2025: Law, Tech and the New Economy offers a timely forum for exploring this challenge. Scheduled for Thursday, 25 September at the Hilton Sydney, this one-day event brings together a cross-section of legal professionals, technologists, economists and regulators to interrogate how the legal sector must evolve, and how to lead that evolution with clarity and confidence.

With 6 CPD points available and a curated program of expert speakers, the event will probe the structural, technological and policy shifts shaping legal practice, and the capabilities professionals need to not only adapt, but thrive.

“Technology is no longer an enhancement to legal services, it’s becoming the architecture around which modern practice is built,” says InfoTrack CEO, John Ahern. “At the same time, regulation is moving at pace and clients are demanding more. Legal professionals need actionable insight, not theory, to navigate this new terrain. That’s what this event is about, equipping the profession for transformation that is already underway.”

Leading with intelligence. AI, innovation and what comes next.

Headlining the event is futurist and technology entrepreneur Steve Sammartino, whose expertise in AI, robotics and digital transformation has made him a trusted voice across sectors.

A regular commentator on Channel 9’s The Rebound, Sammartino is known for translating frontier technology into real-world application, whether through building a drivable Lego car or founding AI startup Macro3D. He is also the author of three bestselling books and the creative force behind viral content that has reached over 100 million people globally.

His keynote will go beyond surface hype to offer a grounded, strategic view of AI’s real impact on professional services. With a focus on adaptability and relevance, his session will provide legal professionals with a roadmap for thriving in an AI-integrated world.

“Steve has a rare ability to turn disruption into direction,” says Ahern. “His keynote will reframe AI from a looming threat into a powerful enabler of better client service and smarter operations.”

Regulatory overhaul, preparing for Tranche 2 AML/CTF

While technology continues to reshape how legal services are delivered, regulatory reform is redefining the standards by which they are governed. The introduction of Tranche 2 AML/CTF legislation represents one of the most significant compliance shifts in the Australian legal sector in decades.

To provide clarity on the implications, this session will explore the legal profession’s new obligations under the proposed reforms. It will cover the legislative trajectory, enforcement priorities, and the operational readiness expected of law firms.

“The compliance bar is rising fast,” says Ahern. “This discussion will help firms cut through speculation and understand exactly what’s required.”

This session is essential for partners, practice managers and compliance professionals seeking to mitigate risk and respond proactively to the changing regulatory environment.

From strategy to application, live demonstrations and legal innovation

In addition to high-level insights, InfoTrack 2025 will offer pragmatic learning opportunities through panel discussions and product demonstrations. Topics will span operational resilience, the evolving client experience, legal innovation, and the economic drivers shaping firm strategy.

Speakers will explore how leading firms are deploying cloud infrastructure, process automation, and AI-powered tools to enhance value delivery while maintaining team wellbeing and compliance.

Attendees can also experience InfoTrack’s newest legal tech innovations through live demonstrations, including smart onboarding solutions, time-saving automation features, and more efficient compliance workflows. It’s a rare chance to see working solutions in context, solving real-world problems.

Building community, sparking collaboration

With over 400 delegates expected, from major firms to solo practitioners, InfoTrack 2025 will serve as a nexus for industry connection and cross-disciplinary thinking.

The day will conclude with networking drinks, offering a relaxed environment to engage with speakers, peers and industry partners. This is more than a conference, it’s a moment for reflection, alignment and professional renewal.

Whether your goal is to upskill, respond strategically to market change, or lead your firm into the next phase of legal practice, InfoTrack 2025: Law, Tech and the New Economy is designed to offer clarity, capability, and a network of like-minded professionals.
