LawTech conf image collage - The University of Manchester's Law & Technology Initiative (MLaTI) has played a role in propelling legal innovation to new heights through its unique academic-industry platform since launch in 2018. In July we hosted the 2nd full-day conference bringing together leading experts, practitioners, and pioneers in the legal tech space, showcasing the university and wider region's commitment to shaping the future of law through technology. MLaTI industry partners include Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Addleshaw Goddard who each helped to shape the conference themes. The event was opened by Professor Orkun Akseli , Professor of Commercial Law at The University of Manchester Law School, who emphasised how academic-industry collaborations can facilitate the integration of technology into legal practices to meet the demands of the digital age. Keynote speeches that followed set the tone for the day's discussions, with Professor Sarah Green of the Law Commission taking the stage to discuss how the Law Commission is actively engaging with emerging technologies to ensure a robust legal framework. Executive Director of the Regulatory Genome Project at the University of Cambridge Dr. Giovanni Bandi captivated the audience with insights into the transformative potential of AI in simplifying regulatory compliance for financial institutions. The keynotes wrapped up with Professor Louise Gullifer KC, of University of Cambridge and Unidroit, discussing the ground-breaking UNIDROIT Principles on Digital Assets and Private Law, which could serve as a new transnational standard in the realm of digital asset regulation.
