"I have been to LEX for the last 3 years. I find it an invaluable opportunity to listen to top figures in the support services of the legal industry, who are presenting case studies and their strategies for taking their business forward. Plus I can meet the leading suppliers of the solutions those leading figures are using, in a time efficient manner. I have found 3 excellent suppliers from this annual exercise that I would not otherwise have known about. Indeed I have challenged 2 existing suppliers who weren't delivering products their colleagues had presented at LEX!
It is also of course a fine opportunity for business development and mab has 3 excellent new clients as a result of encounters made at LEX."
Nick Mercer, Business Manager, Matthew, Arnold & Baldwin
"A professionally staged event that every year I have found rewarding in its variety of content and personalities. It proves to be not only an important event in my calendar but also an opportunity to keep up to date with ideas and like minded people."
Steve Harris, Head of IT, WBW Solicitors
"I really enjoyed LEX, the venue was superb, the presentations focussed and relevant, new acquaintances were made and old ones renewed, all that combined with being able to talk to some of the leading IT suppliers in the legal world made LEX one to put in the diary. I and my managing partner attended, which is something I would recommend to people, each of us followed a different track so that at the end of the two days we were able to confer and exchange topical points of note in both partnership and IT matters". Steve Sumner, IT Director, Taylor Vinters Solicitors
"I found LEX to be a very useful and well run event. It covered interesting talks and discussions led by industry colleagues, meetings with solutions providers and an excellent opportunity for networking. The solution provider meetings in particular were organised with 'military precision', ensuring quick overviews with numerous potential suppliers that would have taken much longer if organised as a part of my daily routine back at the office."
Kevin Goosman, Head of IT, for and on behalf of Cobbetts LLP
"I can honestly say that I thought that this was probably one of the best events I have ever attended. I started out thinking that many of the topics under discussion were applicable only to the larger practices but it quickly became apparent how many of the ideas could be used in my own practice. It was also reassuring to note that the larger firms share all of the same problems encountered by the smaller practices. The only difference being scale. The 'speed dating' arrangement for the various IT solution providers was also an extremely efficient use of time. A very rewarding couple of days"
Michael Hembrough, Managing Partner, for and on behalf of Beers
What have past sponsors thought of LEX?
"One of the best events we’ve ever attended – it really exceeded our expectations. We have several follow up meetings and look to close business in the coming months as a result of taking part in this event."
Solutions Marketing Manager – Canon
"LEX was very well organised and provided us with 19 meetings with key decision makers in the legal vertical. There is absolutely no question that LEX provided good business development opportunities, as we have follow up meetings with half of those firms, some of whom we had not previously met. We anticipate signing up a significant amount of business as a result."
Director of Marketing – Nortel Networks
"By attending LEX UK as solution providers we were able to evaluate the legal sector for our products - legal being a new sector for Xoomworks. It was invaluable to have 30 minute one to one meetings directly with the decision makers and we have organised follow up meetings having made some key contacts. Logistically the event ran seamlessly and the staff were very proactive to ensure we made the most of the opportunities. We look forward to working with the Ark Group again."
CEO – Xoomworks
"The Ark Group’s LEX event, which took place in London at the end of February, looks to have been the most successful yet, with a record number of exhibitors and attendees. There was a good vibe on the day we attended and (always a rarity) we didn’t hear any grumbles from exhibitors. LEX remains unique in the legal market for its format of combining conventional seminar sessions with networking opportunities and pre-arranged one-to-one meetings between suppliers and delegates."
