Legal GiGZ Launches: The World's First Global Directory of Business of Law Conferences and Events
Platform brings together 260+ legal industry events across 40+ countries, ending fragmented search for conferences, speakers, and suppliers
Oxford 28 December 2025 – Legal GiGZ, the world's first comprehensive directory of "business of law" conferences and events, officially launches today, providing legal professionals with a single source of truth for the global legal events calendar.
The platform addresses a long-standing challenge in the legal sector: the lack of visibility around industry conferences, networking events, and professional development opportunities. Until now, lawyers, law firm leaders, and legal suppliers have had to trawl multiple websites, newsletters, and networks to track relevant events – a time-consuming and inefficient process.
Legal GiGZ currently lists 260+ conferences and events spanning 40+ countries, covering leadership, business development, legal technology, finance and pricing, people and culture, and legal operations. The directory is updated regularly and includes detailed event information, speaker listings, and supplier directories.
"The legal events landscape has grown tremendously, but it's become genuinely difficult to keep track of what's happening and where," said Shaun Jardine, Founder of Legal GiGZ. "We created Legal GiGZ after I found three major events scheduled on the same day in the same city – terrible for organisers, delegates, and sponsors alike. The legal profession needed a single, reliable resource that brings everything together. That's what Legal GiGZ delivers."
The platform serves multiple audiences including law firm managing partners, COOs, heads of business development, legal technology leaders, in-house legal teams, conference organisers, legal sector suppliers, and speakers.
Industry Response
The launch has been welcomed by legal professionals globally:
"We need this now more than ever," said Kourosh Zamani, Co-Founder of Laurel AI in Vancouver, Canada. "The challenge isn't that there are too many events; it's that it's become genuinely difficult to keep track of them all and identify which ones align best with our firm's priorities. Legal GiGZ solves this by giving us a comprehensive view of what's happening around the world."
Robert Hanna, Host of the Legally Speaking Podcast and Founder of The Great British Legal Offsite in London, added: "Legal GiGZ solves one of the biggest headaches in our industry by giving lawyers and legal businesses a single, reliable place to track every key annual event. It turns a fragmented, time-draining search into one clear, actionable calendar."
Samantha Holden, Head of Customer Success at Katchr in Nottingham, noted: "By bringing 260+ legal-sector events into one organised directory, Legal GiGZ becomes a practical, time-saving resource: legal professionals can spot the right conferences, vendors can plan their presence, and speakers can find the best platforms."
Amy Bruce of Osprey Approach in Poole, England said: "Finally… one place that covers all legal events. It's important for lawyers, operational leaders and suppliers to collaborate to build the best legal tech, so making it easy to find the right events is the first step."
From New Zealand, Chantal McNaught of People In Law in Auckland commented: "Finally! This should have existed years ago."
John Chisholm of John Chisholm Consulting in Melbourne, Australia called it "what the legal profession has been waiting a long time for. A worldwide comprehensive one-stop shop directory of upcoming legal events. Brilliant."
Noo Jones of Athena Professional in Kenilworth, England said: "Legal GiGZ is going to make the legal conference landscape so much more transparent and accessible. It's a gift for everyone involved; event planners and producers, sponsors, speakers and potential attendees."
Joanna Gaudoin of Client Wise in London added: "As a consultant, speaker, trainer and keen networker, there are so many events in the legal sector, it can be challenging to keep track of them all! I think this sounds like a really valuable resource to be able to plan ahead and be in the right places at the right times."
Kirsty Pappin of Aries Legal Management in London noted: "Legal GiGZ is desperately needed in a sector where everything is fragmented across platforms. It will be incredibly useful across the many hats I wear—working with law firms, attending conferences, and networking—because having a clear view of the year ahead helps me plan and coordinate my diary."
Alex Holt of The Cashroom Ltd in Livingston, Scotland summed it up: "This resource is long overdue – fantastic idea!"
