Hosted by Irish Tech General Counsel (ITGC), the free Legal TechOps Ireland event on Wednesday 6 July will feature speakers including Alex Kelly, co-founder and COO at Brightflag; Sinead Garnett, managing director of legal operations and solutions at Johnson Hana; and Nick McCarthy, responsible for international expansion at Ironclad.

It will explore how and why legal tech and legal operations are transforming in-house legal practice in Ireland; how they are enabling in-house legal teams to better serve their clients and remain relevant in a fast-moving market through leveraging technology and applying strategic business principles to the delivery of in-house legal services; and what they hold for the future of our industry in 2022 and beyond.

The event is sponsored by Maples Group, Brightflag and Johnson Hana, and will begin with a networking reception at 6.30pm at Hen’s Teeth in Dublin. Places are limited, so free registration is required through the ITGC website.

Sarah Irwin, founder of ITGC, told Irish Legal News: “We are delighted to host this event to celebrate and showcase all things legal tech and legal ops that Ireland has to offer to in-house legal professionals.

“As is ITGC tradition, there will be a DJ and plenty of food and drinks because we also want attendees to enjoy themselves and give them another opportunity to continue building key relationships with likeminded, innovative in-house legal professionals at tech companies in Ireland in a fun setting.”
