WAVE - Emerging legal trends is digitalisation

Digitalisation is transforming how businesses operate and how they are held to account. As technology becomes increasingly embedded in products and processes, it is changing how businesses operate – often challenging long-held assumptions about responsibility, control and coordination. The first edition of WAVE brings together insights from senior legal and business leaders to explore the practical implications of this transformation. It examines the governance demands posed by emerging technologies such as agentic AI and hyper-personalised systems, where decisions are made at speed and scale. It also unpacks how structural exposure accumulates through supply chains, contract frameworks and regulatory divergence – and how business and legal strategies must adapt. From evolving platform liability and cross-border class actions to the future shape of legal teams and shifting M&A priorities in the technology, media and communications (TMC) sectors, WAVE guides you through the new terrain which businesses must navigate.
