‍Meet Emma Legal at TLTF Summit 2026

For the second year running, Emma Legal will be at the TLTF Summit, the invitation-only gathering of legal-tech founders, law-firm leaders, in-house counsel and investors hosted by The LegalTech Fund. This year the summit moves to Arizona, home of the first Alternative Business Structure (ABS) in the US and a testing ground for new law-firm models.

Who attends
‍
Law-firm chairs and managing partners, in-house legal leaders, legal-tech founders, investors and legal operations leaders.

Ideas we're looking forward to discussing:

  • How AI is reshaping law-firm economics, from profitability to the billable hour, and why alternative fee arrangements are moving from discussion to practice.
  • Why firms that adopted horizontal AI platforms are now looking for clearer ROI use cases, and where specialised tools fit alongside them.
  • Observations from the market: how AI-native law firms, alternative business structures and management services organizations are redistributing legal work, and what that means for firms of every size.
  • How client expectations are driving AI adoption, and why firms are focusing lawyer time on strategic, high-value mandate.

Let’s meet in Scottsdale

Rick and Pieter will be on site for the whole summit. Book a time to talk M&A due diligence, AI in deal work, or what’s next for your firm.
