Legal tech founders sell to some of the most careful buyers there are: law firm partners, general counsel and legal operations teams. These are the ten best legal tech events of 2027 for startups, from London, Amsterdam, Tallinn and Berlin to New York, Chicago, Stanford, Las Vegas and Singapore.
We picked events with a startup programme, a pitch competition or a hall full of legal buyers, with Europe first when quality is equal. We checked every date on the organiser's own website and mark each one as Confirmed (date on the official site), Announced (reliable second source only) or Expected (based on past editions only). All ten below are Confirmed for 2027. Two shows have changed: TechLaw.Fest in Singapore becomes LegalWeek Asia, and Legal Revolution has moved from Frankfurt to Berlin.

Top 10 Legal Tech Startup Events of 2027 at a Glance
The 10 best legal tech events of 2027
1. Legalweek New York: 1–3 March 2027, New York
Legalweek is the largest legal tech marketplace in the US. Read the pricing page before you book: the cheaper Keynote & Expo pass ($395) is not valid for vendors, consultants or other non-sponsoring providers, so most founders either exhibit or buy the vendor ticket. The same owner now runs Legal Geek and LegalWeek Asia. See our list of startup events in New York.
2. ABA TECHSHOW: 3–6 March 2027, Chicago
ABA TECHSHOW is run by the American Bar Association's Law Practice Division and is aimed at small and mid-sized firms, a good market for bootstrapped products. Its Startup Alley picks 15 start-up finalists by public vote, and they exhibit and pitch at the show; the 2027 call is not out yet. It overlaps with Legalweek on 3 March, so choose one.
3. CodeX FutureLaw Week: 29 March–2 April 2027, Stanford
Stanford's CodeX centre runs FutureLaw as a week of events at Stanford Law School. It is where legal AI research meets Silicon Valley money, so it suits technical founders who want to test ideas on academics and investors. Don't confuse it with FutureLaw in Tallinn (number 6). See our list of startup events in San Francisco.
4. Legal Geek Europe: 13 April 2027, Amsterdam
Legal Geek Europe gathers about 1,500 people in one day, and almost half of them work in in-house legal teams, the buyers most founders want. The 2027 edition moves to the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam. See our list of startup events in Amsterdam.
5. CLOC Global Institute: 10–13 May 2027, Las Vegas
CLOC, the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium, runs the biggest meeting of the people who buy legal software for large companies. Its Start Up Program gives young companies a way into the exhibit hall. See our list of startup events in Las Vegas.
6. FutureLaw: 27–28 May 2027, Tallinn
FutureLaw is the cheapest serious legal tech summit on this list, and its programme leans on EU rules such as the AI Act and GDPR. Estonia's digital state makes it a good place to meet regulators as well as buyers. See our guide to startup events in Estonia.
7. LegalTechTalk Europe: 16–17 June 2027, London
LegalTechTalk has the most founder-friendly pricing of the big shows: a £295 Startup Pass for companies founded after 2022 with under £3m raised, and free passes for approved investors and in-house buyers. Its LaunchPad pitch competition puts the winner on the main stage; the page names 27 March 2027 as the deadline but says 2027 applications are not open yet. See our list of startup events in London.
8. Legal Revolution: 2–3 September 2027, Berlin
Legal Revolution is the main legal tech exhibition in the German-speaking market. It used to be held in Frankfurt and moved to Estrel Berlin in 2026, which the organiser calls the start of a multi-year Berlin chapter. Bring German-language material. See our guide to startup events in Germany.
9. LegalWeek Asia: 28–29 September 2027, Singapore
LegalWeek Asia replaces TechLaw.Fest: the Legalweek team runs it with the Singapore Academy of Law, and expects about 4,000 attendees and more than 100 exhibitors. It is the easiest way into Asia-Pacific legal buyers. See our list of startup events in Singapore.
10. Legal Geek Conference: 13–14 October 2027, London
Legal Geek is the event most built around legal start-ups: about 5,500 people in a Shoreditch brewery. Its start-up programme offers introductions, discounted tickets and Startup Alley stands, and applications for 2027 are open. Prices for tech providers rise on 1 February 2027.

Why legal tech events matter: the numbers
- Venture funding to legal tech start-ups passed $4 billion in 2025, a record and nearly double the $2.2 billion of 2024, according to Crunchbase News.
- LegalComplex counts it differently: $5.99 billion raised in 2025 with fourteen rounds of $100 million or more, but only 292 companies raised money, 27% fewer than in 2024, according to Artificial Lawyer. More money is going to fewer companies, so being seen by buyers and investors matters.
- Women are still rare among legal tech founders: they made up 14.5% in a 2021 count reported by LawSites, the most recent global figure we found.

How to choose a legal tech event
- Pitch or sell? LegalTechTalk's LaunchPad, ABA TECHSHOW's Startup Alley and Legal Geek's Startup Alley put you in front of judges and buyers; Legalweek, CLOC and Legal Revolution are for meeting buyers.
- Use the start-up rates. LegalTechTalk's £295 Startup Pass and Legal Geek's discounted start-up tickets cost a fraction of the vendor prices at the big US shows.
- Pick your buyer. Corporate legal teams go to CLOC and Legal Geek Europe; small firms go to ABA TECHSHOW and Legal Geek Growth; big law firm IT teams go to ILTA events and the British Legal Technology Forum.
- Read the vendor rules. Legalweek's cheaper passes are not valid for vendors, so check what a founder may buy before you book.
- Check the new names. TechLaw.Fest is now LegalWeek Asia, Legal Revolution is in Berlin, and Legal Geek belongs to the Legalweek owner.
