All the latest news and lawtech developments from the SRA Innovate team.
Research report looks at technology and innovation
We commissioned Thinks Insight & Strategy to conduct independent research into how small firms and sole practitioners use technology, their views on innovation and the support that they would most value.
Innovation events in 2025
This year we held free innovation events in Leeds and Birmingham. Both events included panel discussions featuring experts in tech and AI, as well as from law firms adopting technology in their businesses.
You can watch both events on-demand.
We also held a panel discussion on technology as part of our conference for in-house lawyers.
Innovate at Legal Geek
Look out for our team at UK Legal Geek events this year. In June we joined 1,000 SME and mid-size law firms for Legal Geek Growth. We will also be speaking at Legal Geek's two-day conference in October.
