On 10 September 2025, Guldemond Advocaten will be represented at Legal Geek Europe in De Hallen, Amsterdam. Julia van Leeuwen will join an interactive international roundtable on a pressing issue for the profession: trust between lawyer and client, and how technology, artificial intelligence and the human element influence and shape that relationship.
The session brings together lawyers, in-house counsel, legal operations specialists, innovation experts and legal technology entrepreneurs to discuss technology’s role in legal services today and in the future.
Central questions
The roundtable will encourage reflection, exchange and forward thinking. Questions include:
- Where do technology and AI strengthen client trust, and where do they put it under pressure?
- When do the human element and the lawyer remain indispensable to building a strong client relationship?
- Efficiency through Teams is not the same as genuine collaboration. How can digital working be combined with personal relationship-building?
- Is trust shifting from traditional recognition, such as qualifications and rankings, towards data, technology and insight into processes?
- What will be fundamentally different in clients’ experience of legal services ten years from now?
Looking ahead with trust in mind
Legal Geek Europe is known as a forum for forward-looking ideas on legal innovation. Julia looks forward to exchanging insights with colleagues from the Netherlands and abroad, contributing to an increasingly relevant question for our clients: how can lawyers remain trustworthy, human partners in a world of rapidly developing technology?
