LPM Conference is back!

Join us on 10th July 2025 at Kings Fund, London for the pre-eminent event dedicated to SME legal business managers. Our carefully curated content will address the challenges and needs of practice managers and directors, managing partners and heads of department spanning IT, finance, HR, operations, risk and more across UK SME legal firms.

If Carling did conferences it would probably be the LPM Conference! We swap dull presentations for immersive discussions, unmissable panel debates problem-solving round-tables, meaning you get to listen, learn and share experiences with senior knowledge managers from leading firms across the industry.
