Research Collaboration on the Future of the Legal Profession
A year ago, the legal profession named its problems. This year, it looked to solutions. Close to 300 members of the Singapore legal fraternity gathered at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay on 29 July 2026 for the Legal Profession Symposium 2026.
Under the theme “Finding Sustainable Solutions”, the Symposium built on the issues identified at LPS 2025 and the work undertaken over the intervening year. Its focus was practical: to examine, test and refine possible responses to challenges relating to internationalisation, AI integration and sustainable legal careers.
The programme brought together ideas from the Hackathon for a Better World 2026 (“Hackathon”), pre-Symposium Focus-Group Discussions and the Solutioning Workshop on 28 July which also involved Next Generation Ambassadors and Practice Group Leaders. These provided the foundation for discussions involving participants from across the legal ecosystem.
