LexCapital participated as a Gold Sponsor at the Legal Tech Forum 2023.
The Forum, which took place in Bologna on 29 November at the Cappella Farnese di Palazzo D’Accursio, is considered a leading light in the debate on technology in the legal world.
It focused in particular on the synergy between the law and technology.
LexCapital’s CIO Manuel Caccone gave a talk which focused in particular on the topic of “Litigation Funding and Predictive Justice“.
Legal Tech Forum 2023 in Bologna: an important conference on legal technologies
The event was promoted and coordinated by Legal Tech Italy.
An observatory – founded by the Bologna-based company Kopjira – which has been studying the legal-tech sector for many years and is concerned specifically with the interaction between the law and the numerous possibilities offered by new technologies.
Since 2015, Legal Tech Forum has been an unmissable event for those wishing to discuss developments in technology in the legal field.
A discussion which sees the active participation of influential guests – companies, start-ups, law firms and industry professionals – who bring their field experience and encourage debate on this cross-sectoral issue.
To date, the event has welcomed 2500 participants and more than 150 speakers, who have been invited to discuss how the spheres of law and new technologies can be combined.
The historic guests of Forum 2023
Now in its seventh year, the Legal Tech Forum has seen the participation of renowned speakers and leading companies over time.
Among these companies were Sky, Google, Mediaset, IBM and Cisco.
The event, after two years of being held remotely, was back open to visitors attending in person.
This decision was taken not only in order to appreciate the physical spaces symbolising the birth of the project, but also to encourage direct (in person) debate between the various professionals in the sector.
Many topics were discussed: Big Data, Cybersecurity, Metaverse, Blockchain and, of course, the new frontier of artificial intelligence, with its legal and regulatory aspects, and Predictive Justice.
The debate on legal technologies
The debate surrounding legal technologies is not merely technical, but also involves questions of ethics and morality.
As Tommaso Grotto – CEO and co-founder of Kopjira – pointed out, we are living in a historic time in which our interaction with new technologies is becoming more and more widespread and intrusive in every sector.
This leads to questions regarding the functional aspect of these tools – their correct use – and also regarding the related ethical and social issues.
Legal Tech Forum aspires to become the epicentre of debate on this issue and LexCapital is delighted to have been able to contribute its experience, professionalism, and vision.
