With anticipation building ahead of tomorrow’s annual in-person conference, Legal Cheek has today announced the final batch of top speakers for LegalEdCon 2025. These speakers will join the first and second lineup of training experts, influencers and academics announced in the past few weeks.
LegalEdCon returns tomorrow as an in-person event at Kings Place, London on Thursday 15 May 2025. Now in its eighth year, the conference will bring together learning & development and graduate recruitment teams from over 150 leading law firms, along with top academics and other prominent industry figures. It will be an action-packed day dedicated to learning and networking.

Other sessions include an unfiltered look at the Solicitors Qualifying Exams (SQE), an exploration of Gen Z’s new approach to the workplace and a discussion on the relationship between diversity and politics.
The day will conclude with a special key note from Professor of Law and Government at Durham University Law School, Thom Brooks.
