2025 GC law firm risk and liability conference

We will be back again in October for our annual GC Law Firm Risk and Liability Conference. This year, focus turns to the way in which biases affect various aspects of legal practice. We will host discussions with leading professionals and academics and share experiences amongst the legal risk and compliance community.

The conference is for General Counsel and senior risk and compliance teams in the leading global and national law firms. It is hosted by our top ranked Professional Risks team in our London office, Tower Bridge House.

What to expect

There will be a keynote speech from Dr Clea Wright, School of Psychology, University of Chester. Dr Wright will address the ubiquity and psychology of deception, before focusing on how we can get better at knowing whether someone is telling the truth, and the practical implications of this for investigations and litigation.

The conference will also feature panellist and discussion sessions focusing on:

• handling of risk issues internally and avoiding the pitfalls of SRA scrutiny (Helen Evans KC, 4 New Square Chambers; Hinesh Mistry, Howard Kennedy; Tim Shepherd, RPC; Tom Wild, RPC)
• risk communications – perception and affect of advice and communications in the legal workplace (Barry MacEntee, Hinshaw & Culbertson; Graham Reid, RPC)
• biases in human and electronic decision making (Dr Janis Wong, Law Society; Professor Emmanuel Pothos, University of London; Patrick Brodie, RPC; Alys Jones, RPC)
