Members of the Watkins Solicitors team recently attended the WE R LegalTech Conference 2026, held at Bristol City Hall and organised by Bristol+Bath LegalTech.

The conference brought together legal professionals, technology specialists, innovators and businesses from across the legal sector to explore how technology is continuing to shape the future of legal services, client experience and access to justice.

The full-day event included discussions on topics such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation within law firms, legal operations, cybersecurity, regulation, innovation and the future development of legal services. Speakers and panellists included professionals from across the legal, technology and business sectors, alongside representatives from regional and national organisations.
