LexTalk World Global and Hybrid Conference, SINGAPORE-2022
LexTalk World conference would be a platform intended to congregate the International legal fraternity under a single roof at Singapore to discuss ideas, concepts, experiences, expertise and percolate all knowledge on the legal industry worldwide.
- (1888PressRelease) December 03, 2022 - The 3rd edition of the LexTalk World Global Hybrid Conference was held on the 23rd and 24th of November’ 2022 at Ramada by Wyndham, at Zhonshan Park, Singapore. Holding the much awaited and anticipated seminar at Singapore marked the debut of CAC Media LLP organising the conference in a different important global location in the Asia Pacific region from their previous editions in the Middle East region, namely Dubai. Dubai was the destination of the conference of the first 2 editions before Singapore.
Holding the coveted conference in Singapore had its obvious reasons. Legal technology is fast becoming one of the most important initiatives driven by the Government of Singapore. It was announced at the start of May 2019 that a programme would be launched for law practices to get funding support of up to 70% for the first-year costs of for adopting baseline and advanced technology solutions in their practices. This programme, aimed at incentivising law practices to adopt technology in their businesses could be worth up to SGD3.68million and was launched by the Singapore Ministry of Law, the Law Society of Singapore, Enterprise Singapore, and the Info COMM Media Development Authority.
The global conference was organised in association with important global industry bodies like the APCAM (Asia Pacific Centre for Arbitration & Mediation), AIADR (Asian Institute of Alternative Dispute Resolution), Indian Institute of Arbitration & Mediation), SILF (Society of Indian Law Firms), The Law Society of Singapore and Global Lawyers Association.
The whole objective of the conference is to bring global lawyers under one roof and explore the dimensions of Legal Industry and propagate vital domain knowledge, by sharing, gathering amidst an environment facilitating free flow of information. The best way to do this is to engage the peer group of lawyers to enlighten the entire fraternity, to prepare and brace for the fast-changing legal world. The global Legal Industry is poised to shed the usual conservative approach and embrace the much-needed conjunction with cutting edge technology. And what a better place would it be, than Singapore which is fast becoming the global epicentre for the merger of the 2 most dichotomous platforms, the Legal Industry and Technology.
The other most important objective of the conference was to create an opportunity in a venue which would act as a platform for business networking amongst global lawyers. Like any business, global legal professionals also need to network and connect with each other to facilitate business growth and to learn from each other.
