What to expect

WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING?

Law, AI and Transformation Beyond the Hype

Every week brings a new AI announcement, a new legal technology platform, and a new prediction about the future of the profession. But beneath the headlines, what is actually happening?

Nordic Legal Tech Day brings together the people closest to these changes—from global industry observers and technology pioneers to legal leaders actively transforming the way legal work gets done.
Over one focused afternoon in Helsinki, you’ll hear global perspectives, real customer experiences, practical lessons from the field, and honest conversations about the forces reshaping legal work today.

No predictions. No buzzwords. No full-day conference fatigue.

Just five hours of sharp insights, meaningful discussions and valuable connections—followed by drinks, conversations and the kind of networking that actually feels enjoyable.

Join us on 22 September 2026 for an intense afternoon of learning and an early evening with the Nordic legal community.

Staying ahead of the changing legal industry

In 2020, the Nordic countries joined forces in creating the next edition of Nordic Legal Tech Day. With four separate events in four cities in 2022 & 2023 (Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki and Stockholm) and one common strategy and groundwork, the Nordic Legal Tech Day(s) became bigger and better than ever.

  • Networking Opportunities: Engage with leaders and innovators in the legal industry at Nordic Legal Tech Day, a prime event for making valuable connections.
  • Expert Insights: Gain practical knowledge from experienced international and Nordic speakers who are at the forefront of legal technology and innovation.
  • Future Trends: Stay ahead of the curve with updates on emerging trends and developments that are shaping the future of the legal profession.
  • Transformation Mission: Be part of a mission to transform the legal industry and the work life of lawyers in the Nordics, driving progress and efficiency.
  • Legal Tech Advancements: Discover new legal tech tools and solutions that can revolutionize the way legal services are delivered and managed.
  • Knowledge Sharing: Share your experiences and learn from peers, fostering a collaborative environment for growth and innovation in the legal sector.

Looking forward to Nordic Legal Tech Day - Helsinki 2026

Beyond chatbots: Competitive Advantage with Generative AI
Two years after the introduction of ChatGPT, many companies have adopted generative AI in the form of personal chatbots. While these tools offer real value, adoption has been slow, and the results have often been underwhelming. This presentation explores how companies are leveraging generative AI to rethink their processes and services beyond personal productivity tools. Not unlike the internet, gaining a competitive edge from generative AI requires complementary innovation and broader business changes. Successful companies tend to have talented enthusiasts and cultivate a positive attitude toward AI and innovation more generally.

Cyber Security in a Changing World
In an increasingly digital world, lawyers among cyber professionals face unique challenges in safeguarding sensitive client information against cyber threats.
This speech gives an overview of the current security situation and how we ended up here from a cyber security perspective, introduces the main threat actors and their motives, and what nations have done and should still do to address the challenges.
