The move reflects the growing demand for legal innovation and strengthens Hyve’s presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing business sectors
London, United Kingdom, 7 July 2026 – The legal technology industry has gained another major boost as global business events organizer Hyve announced the acquisition of LegalTechTalk, one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to legal technology and digital transformation. The move marks Hyve’s first step into the legal sector and signals its confidence in the rapid growth of technology-driven legal services.
LegalTechTalk was founded in 2023 by Bradley Collins and Mikkel Jensen to bring together legal professionals, technology companies, investors, and innovators to discuss how digital tools are transforming the legal industry. Since its first event in London in 2024, the conference has expanded rapidly and established itself as a leading platform for conversations around artificial intelligence, legal operations, and business transformation.
The latest edition of LegalTechTalk attracted more than 5,500 attendees from over 70 countries, along with hundreds of industry speakers and senior decision makers. The event has become a meeting place for law firms, corporate legal departments, legal technology providers, and business leaders looking to understand the future of legal services.
For Hyve, the acquisition represents more than the addition of another event to its portfolio. It opens the door to a rapidly evolving market where technology is changing the way legal professionals work. Artificial intelligence, automation, digital research tools, and contract management platforms are reshaping legal processes, creating strong demand for industry events that encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Industry experts believe the legal services market will continue to expand steadily over the coming years as businesses invest in technology to improve efficiency, compliance, and client service. As organizations adopt AI-powered solutions and modern legal workflows, platforms such as LegalTechTalk are expected to play an increasingly important role in connecting innovators with legal professionals.
The acquisition also reflects a broader trend across the global events industry, where organizers are focusing on specialized sectors with strong long-term growth potential. By entering the legal technology space, Hyve continues to diversify its portfolio while supporting industries that are experiencing significant digital transformation.
As legal technology continues to evolve, collaboration between software providers, legal professionals, corporate leaders, and investors will become increasingly important. Industry events such as LegalTechTalk are expected to serve as valuable platforms for sharing ideas, exploring emerging technologies, and helping organizations prepare for the next phase of digital innovation in legal services.
