We are delighted to announce our acquisition of LegalTechTalk, Europe's leading event for legal technology and transformation, with US expansion on the horizon.
As AI transforms the legal profession, technology is reshaping how legal services are delivered, how businesses operate and how leaders connect. This means the sector needs to come together, and LegalTechTalk has established itself at the centre of that transformation, building the premium meeting place for the people driving change across the industry.
We're excited to enter this new SuperVertical through acquiring the market-leading event. What Bradley and Mikkel have built in such a short time is exceptional – LegalTechTalk has become the trusted partner to the sector’s leading companies and this has been achieved through a relentless focus on customer outcomes and community building.LegalTechTalk brings together senior decision-makers from across the legal ecosystem, including leaders from organisations such as Google, Airbnb, Revolut, Adidas, DLA Piper and Freshfields, alongside the technology companies shaping the future of the industry.
The event was founded by entrepreneurs Bradley Collins and Mikkel Jensen in 2024. In just its third year, the 2026 event this June attracted 5,500+ attendees from over 70 countries – 62% of whom were C-suite or senior decision-makers — alongside 450+ speakers. The founders will continue to lead the business, working closely with Hyve’s Acquisitions and Best practice team, led by the division’s President, Lisa Milburn.
Supporting US expansion.
The acquisition also strengthens LegalTechTalk's international ambitions. Following the recent announcement of its expansion into the US, Hyve’s Global Ventures launch team, led by Katy Fryatt, will support the launch of its inaugural American event in Miami Beach, during December 2027.
When we launched LegalTechTalk, we always believed the opportunity extended far beyond Europe. Our USA launch is an exciting next step, and Hyve's proven track record of successfully taking premium event brands into new international markets made them the right partner for us. We're excited to build on the momentum we've created and accelerate LegalTechTalk's global growth together.Deploying Hyve best practice while maintaining purpose.
Hyve will support the next phase of LegalTechTalk's growth by investing behind its already market-leading position. Initial priorities include formalising an at-scale hosted meetings programme and introducing new product formats, including TableTalks.
We've built LegalTechTalk by staying relentlessly focused on delivering value for our customers. Joining Hyve gives us access to proven best practice across event operations and customer experience, alongside opportunities to strengthen our meetings programme and develop new products and services. That allows us to keep improving the experience we deliver while building on the strong foundations already in place. The aim continues to become the #1 catalyst for driving positive change within the legal world - now we can do this at a global scale at an accelerated pace.The next editions of LegalTechTalk will take place on 16 to 17 June 2027 in London and 13 to 15 December 2027 in Miami.
