Mission & Vision
Mission
To create one central, practical directory of in-person legal events that’s genuinely useful to everyone involved in the business of law and running a law firm – from lawyers and law firm leaders to conference organisers, exhibitors, speakers, podcasters, CPD providers and law firm networks.
Vision
A world where the global legal events calendar is transparent and easy to navigate, helping:
- Lawyers and law firm professionals find the right conferences to attend
- Conference organisers reach their target audiences effectively
- Suppliers and exhibitors plan where to invest time and budget
- Speakers and podcasters reach the audiences they serve
- CPD providers and law firm networks showcase their programmes and events
Legal GiGZ aims to be the go-to reference point for in-person legal events focused on:
- Law firm management and strategy
- Business development and marketing
- Legal operations and technology
- Finance and pricing
- People development, HR and leadership
Why Legal GiGZ Exists
The Origin Story
This whole project started when founder Shaun Jardine, whilst looking for events to approach as a speaker, realised that on a single day in June 2026, three separate legal management events were scheduled in London, all targeting a similar audience.
- Sponsors & exhibitors – forced to choose and risk missing key buyers
- Speakers – you can’t be in two places at once
- Delegates – forced into difficult choices, often only discovering clashes too late
- Conference organisers – competing unnecessarily for the same people on the same day
The problem wasn’t a shortage of information. It was the lack of a central, neutral, high-quality directory that made it easy to see what was happening, where and when – across multiple organisers, countries and networks.
Legal GiGZ was created to fix that.
Why Legal GiGZ is Different
One Central Hub
We aggregate in-person legal events from multiple organisers, networks and providers into a single, searchable directory.
Business-of-Law Focus
We concentrate on management, innovation, operations, pricing, finance, BD and people – the topics that drive firm performance.
Multi-Role Platform
Lawyers, organisers, exhibitors, speakers, CPD providers, podcasters and law firm networks all have tailored spaces and dashboards.
Global, Not Local
From regional gatherings to international flagships, Legal GiGZ gives you a wider view of the legal events ecosystem.
Depth of Detail
Listings go beyond titles and dates to include speakers, themes, who is exhibiting, and how to get involved.
There is no other resource with this level of focus and detail on the international in-person legal conference landscape.
