In today’s evolving corporate landscape, Legal Operations leaders play a crucial role in driving efficiency, strategic alignment, and innovation within legal departments. The Legal Operations Strategy Forum provides a dedicated platform for industry professionals to collaborate, share insights, and address the challenges shaping the future of legal operations.
Over the course of three days, participants will engage in interactive discussions, one-on-one meetings, and speed networking, exploring key themes such as technology adoption, cost optimization, contract lifecycle management, outside counsel management, and regulatory compliance. The forum will also spotlight emerging trends in AI, automation, and data-driven decision-making, empowering legal operations teams to enhance productivity, reduce risk, and deliver greater value to their organizations.
Situated just outside Guildford, De Vere Horsley Estate offers 51 versatile event spaces across three distinct settings. Whether for conferences, meetings, training sessions, or outdoor teambuilding activities, the estate provides a dynamic and inspiring environment.
At the heart of the venue is the modern Management Centre, where flexible layouts, neutral tones, and abundant natural light create a fresh and energising backdrop. For more intimate gatherings, The Court features a selection of contemporary rooms, recently refurbished with bold colours and stylish décor, while still preserving elements of the original stonework from the historic stables.
For those seeking a truly grand setting, the historic Horsley Towers offers the breathtaking Great Hall. With its striking period features, it provides an elegant atmosphere for private dinners, exclusive receptions, and special events.
