Announcing the ALITA-GLH Virtual Summit

ALITA is proud to announce the ALITA-GLH Virtual Summit, organised in conjunction with RSG Consulting and the Global Legal Hackathon, and in support of the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Hackathon 2020 (FTIL Hackathon). The FTIL Hackathon remains live and open to registrations until 17 May 2020.

As businesses worldwide face major disruptions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, it is now more essential than ever that the legal industry be ready to address challenges as they arise. 

In this regard, the hour-long Virtual Summit will discuss the effect the pandemic has had on the legal industry and legal technology, and how technology can help the legal industry respond. The Summit will also highlight the FTIL Hackathon’s importance and context, and emphasise why it is important for the global legal industry to respond resoundingly. Participation is highly recommended for all ALITA members and participants of the FTIL Hackathon.

Participants can expect excellent insights from a distinguished panel of global thought leaders, as well as interactive elements during the Summit. The panel comprises:

  1. Mark Cohen, CEO and Founder of Legal Mosaic, USA

  2. Noah Waisberg, CEO and Co-Founder, Kira Systems, Canada

  3. Mimi Zou, Co-Founder, Oxford Deep Tech Dispute Resolution Lab, UK

  4. Rajesh Sreenivasan, Head of TMT Practice, Rajah & Tann Asia and Director, R&T Technologies, Singapore 

  5. Kearra Nicolle, Executive Director, Global Legal Hackathon, UK

The panel will be moderated by Yasmin Lambert, Partner and Senior Consultant at RSG Consulting, UK.

When will it be held

The ALITA-GLH Virtual Summit will be an hour-long event, and will be held on 8 May 2020, at 12pm BST

How can I participate in the Summit?

There are two modes of participation for the Virtual Summit (both of which are free). As the Virtual Summit will be conducted via Zoom, participants can tune in to interact with the panellists directly. Registration, which can be done below, is required and only limited slots are available.

Alternatively, the Virtual Summit will be live-streamed for viewers on ALITA’s live-streaming platform, ALITALivestream, which can be accessed at dev.alita.legal. Registrations are not required to watch the Summit on ALITALivestream, so you can also follow the Summit there if registrations are full.

For greater interactivity, an interactive portal will also be made available for all participants and viewers (even if non-registered) to take part in live polls and ask questions (which can be answered live or after the Summit).

It’s all for a better tomorrow

ALITA is fully committed to the betterment of the future of the Asia Pacific legal industry. See how ALITA is supporting the FTIL Hackathon in other ways here.

We look forward to seeing you at the Summit!

For the Asia-Pacific,

ALITA.
