In this virtual and free live-stream event, Lawyers Weekly and Clio bridge the gap between legal education and the practical demands of building and scaling a modern law firm.
Registrations are now open for an upcoming virtual summit designed to unpack the practical realities of running a legal practice, produced in special partnership between Lawyers Weekly and Clio.
With the legal profession in the midst of rapid transformation and as artificial intelligence reshapes the way work is performed, client expectations are rising, and firms are under mounting pressure to grow sustainably while maintaining efficiency and profitability.
This summit brings together industry leaders to examine what these shifts mean in practice – and how firms can respond with purpose.
This free event will be held virtually on Wednesday, 3 June, at 10:00am – 2:00pm AEST. Click here to register.
Denise Farmer, Asia-Pacific general manager at Clio, said running a firm has “never been more complex – and lawyers are feeling that gap between legal training and business reality more than ever”.
“At the same time, AI is moving from experimentation to everyday practice, and the firms that will thrive are those that approach it with both clarity and confidence,” Farmer added.
“Across APAC, we’re seeing firms navigate AI adoption, rising client expectations, and real competitive pressures – all at once. What they need isn’t theory, but honest, practical guidance on what’s actually working.”
Lawyers Weekly managing editor Jerome Doraisamy said the summit will focus on the skills lawyers are often left to learn on their own.
“We want to give legal professionals practical insight into how firms are actually operating, growing, and adapting in a changing market.
“It’s about moving beyond theory and equipping lawyers with the tools and perspective needed to navigate the realities of modern practice,” Doraisamy said.
Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how AI is being deployed in firms, where revenue leakage commonly occurs, and how to strike the right balance between efficiency and pricing.
The session will also address governance considerations in an AI-enabled environment, alongside the operational and strategic challenges that come with scaling a firm.
The focus will be on real-world application, with our experts offering grounded perspectives, implementation considerations, and lessons drawn from firms already navigating similar challenges.
“At Clio, we’re privileged to see firsthand how firms are evolving and what separates those who struggle from those who scale.
“This summit is about sharing those lessons – giving lawyers the strategies and tools to build stronger, more resilient businesses and embrace AI in a way that genuinely works for them,” Farmer said.
“(Almost) everything law school didn’t teach you” will be held virtually on Wednesday, 3 June 2026.
