Lexpo'23 - the 5th edition
Lexpo will soon celebrate its fifth anniversary! After four completely sold-out editions, it is evident that Lexpo has established itself as the most prestigious Continental European legal innovation event, featuring the perfect balance between informative sessions, commercial presence and ample networking opportunities.
So, if you want your law firm or in-house legal department to thrive in times of unprecedented change for the legal industry, then Lexpo'23 is that one event you can't afford to miss!
Lexpo themes
LEGAL OPERATIONS
Optimising the delivery of legal services is of key importance for high-performing legal departments. For outside counsel, on the other hand, knowledge about how this optimisation can be achieved is invaluable for strengthening the relationship. At Lexpo'20 you will hear how innovative legal departments operate, learn from their leaders and discover the latest trends, innovations and technologies that will help you increase strong sustainable effectiveness as well as strong sustainable relationships!
LEGAL TECH
In recent years, an ever-increasing number of legaltech applications and services have been launched by an equal number of (start-up) companies. The vast majority of these applications are point solutions, solving a small but specific issue in the practice of law. How can law firms and in-house legal departments formulate strategies on how to deal with the overwhelming amount of new tools available, how to make the right choice between competing products and how to guarantee user adoption and overall success?
CYBER SECURITY - THE HUMAN FACTOR
Last year cybersecurity was one of the Lexpo themes, and we highlighted ways to improve security while keeping everyone happy. This year we will deep dive into the weakest link of the security chain: you! The human factor is a key concern for law firms trying to keep their networks and clients’ data secure. Most cyberattacks are designed to take advantage of normal human behaviour rather than flaws in software. Lexpo’20 will feature eye-opening sessions explaining the modus operandi of social engineers.
THE LEGAL WORKFORCE
Lawyers, secretaries and support staff comprise the traditional workforce that had kept law firms going for decades. But more recently, due to changing market conditions and client demand, a wealth of new job titles can be identified in the legal industry. What roles are required for running successful law firms and thriving legal departments today? And how does technology fit into the picture? At Lexpo’20 you will get answers from renowned industry experts and seasoned HR experts.
Why visit Lexpo?
Network with the Lexpo speakers and panelists, your peers from the legal industry and dozens of vendors of innovative legaltech products and services. There will be plenty opportunities to relax and socialize: during the morning- and afternoon breaks, while enjoying the extensive lunch buffets, during the refreshing drinks reception or at the original foodmarket-style networking dinner!
Learn about the latest innovations and find out how new solutions can bring you and your firm to the next level. Find out what our legaltech startup partners are working on and how their solutions might streamline your operations. Discuss pressing issues during round table sessions and discover how other firms delivered successful projects to
the business.

Jenny Radcliffe
The People Hacker
Human Factor Security
Jenny Radcliffe
Jenny Radcliffe - aka “The People Hacker”- is a force to be reckoned with. She can diffuse a crisis situation, talk her way into a secure building, and spot a psychopath at a hundred paces. She has been called a mind reader and a “human lie detector,” and likened to a Jedi Knight. In reality, she is an expert in social engineering (the human element of security), negotiation, persuasion and influence, and non-verbal communication and deception - using her skills to help clients ranging from global corporations and law enforcement organizations to poker players, politicians and the security industry.
Radcliffe speaks, consults and trains people in the skills of “people hacking” and explains how “social engineering” using psychological methods can be a huge threat to organisations of all sizes. She reveals how that same knowledge is a valuable tool not only for business executives but also for security professionals of all types working to prevent attacks, scams, and cons of all kinds. Jenny shares how she, without technology, uses the “machine between our ears” to “psychologically pen-test” companies and find the weaknesses in their security measures with the goal of helping them bolster their human defenses against future attacks.
