The Legal Technologist Programme
The legal sector is changing rapidly. As technology becomes increasingly embedded in products, services and business operations, organisations need legal professionals who can operate at the intersection of law, technology and business. Therefore we developed the Legal Technologist Programme.
You are invited to the kick off of this unique programme. Join KPMG, CPO and Rabobank for the official launch of the Legal Technologist Programme and discover why a new generation of legal professionals is emerging. Hear from leading practitioners and academics, exchange ideas with peers and explore the skills necessary for remaining relevant in an increasingly digital world.
