It’s been a full-on month for our Moderators, from the IBA annual conference in Toronto to TLTF (The Legal Technology Fund) in Austin and a wintry evening event at the Irish Law Society. Topics included BD as a genuine growth engine, the Ashurst–Perkins Coie merger, US legal tech and private equity, and how early counseling for trainees can support wellbeing. Toronto was a real highlight. Our BD Forum Moderators finally met in person after months hosting live sessions on the App, a good reminder that live connection still matters more than any tool.
Back on Platforum9, we hosted a busy run of live sessions (including some streamed from the IBA and TLTF), introduced smarter tagging, and added AI-powered summaries so you can catch our key takeaways in minutes. As we deepen our links with firms and founders across the US and Europe, the aim remains simple: help lawyers everywhere hear what’s coming next – and share their own views.
