LegalGeek Workshop: Building your legal tech stack – How to get it wrong and could Claude do everything anyway!
Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 10:00am BST

Everyone’s bought legal tech they regret — so let’s start there. In 45 fast, hands-on minutes we’ll dissect how tech stacks really go wrong, build the worst one imaginable as a group, and then test whether a single AI assistant could have done the job all along. Expect live demos, honest answers about where AI still can’t go, and no sales pitch.
