Members have access to an exclusive Resources Hub, providing curated resources such as legal tech market maps, procurement playbooks, and, training materials and recordings. The Network offers an entirely flexible membership, recognising the differing appetites and capacities to get involved in Network sessions and events.

Client and Practice Solutions Senior Manager Billie Heer said, “We are delighted that the Client Innovation network has been named ‘Pioneering Business Development Innovation’. We’ve grown the Network since its launch in 2021, and currently have over 150 members from a variety of industries in our Network, who are really engaged with the programme of events we offer. The feedback we receive from members is consistently fantastic, and it is great for the Network to have received this recognition.”
