The CLOC Europe Summit focuses on the issues that matter most to legal operations in Europe.

Over a one-day interactive programme, you will explore the regional strategic landscape, hear practical case studies that demonstrate tangible outcomes, and discover how multidisciplinary skill sets are reshaping the profession. 

Sessions will emphasise collaboration across the enterprise, broader industry participation beyond traditional legal roles, and breaking down silos to create more inclusive, effective ways of working.

Programme Themes

Strategic Landscape and Regional Challenges

Explore the strategic trends shaping the European legal market and learn how to communicate the value of legal operations with clarity. With regional needs differing from U.S. approaches, this theme focuses on telling stronger stories that resonate within Europe.

Legal transformation does not happen in isolation. This theme invites senior leaders across the legal industry to take part, including lawyers, technologists, and innovators, positioning the Summit as a centre for exploring how technology is reshaping legal services.

As technology converges across business functions, legal teams play a growing role in enterprise decision making. Sessions highlight how legal operations professionals can collaborate with CIOs, COOs, CTOs, and other leaders to influence smarter solutions and avoid one size fits all approaches.

With the profession evolving, legal operations teams want real examples and measurable impact. This theme focuses on practical case studies, proven approaches, and conversations that move beyond theory to showcase what successful transformation looks like in action.

Modern legal operations roles span legal expertise, technology, compliance, data, and business transformation. This theme explores these blended profiles and how professionals can develop the skills needed to thrive in a multidisciplinary environment.

Progress happens when different perspectives come together. This theme brings in-house teams, law firms, technology providers, and consultants into shared discussions that promote inclusion, reduce silos, and create space for genuine collaboration rather than commercial pitches.
