Diary
A practical diary of upcoming events for law firms, legal suppliers and compliance professionals across England and Wales.
Staying across the legal events calendar is one of the fastest ways for firm leaders to keep pace with changing regulation, technology and client expectations. Our diary covers the conferences, summits, webinars and training sessions that matter most to private practice, in-house teams and legal tech suppliers operating in England and Wales.
The legal sector moves quickly. New SRA rules, AI guidance, compliance deadlines and employment law changes arrive almost monthly. Attending the right legal events helps firms translate those headlines into practical action — whether that means choosing a new practice management system, updating AML processes, or simply hearing how peer firms are handling the same pressures.
Upcoming events in the diary span practice management, legal technology, compliance, property, claims and private client work. Many are hosted by the Law Society, regulator bodies and specialist legal training providers, while others are run by commercial conference organisers and legal tech vendors. We list them because they offer genuine insight, not because they pay for placement.
Each listing includes the date, location, attendance mode and a short summary of the agenda. You can filter by in-person, hybrid or online events to find the format that suits your schedule and budget. Most events are based in England and Wales, although some larger conferences attract delegates from Scotland, Ireland and international jurisdictions.
We update the diary as new events are announced, so it is worth checking back before you plan your CPD or firm training calendar. If you are organising a legal event that should be listed, use the submission link at the bottom of the page — listings are free and we aim to keep the diary useful and impartial.
