Katchr Connect – 17 June 2026

The annual gathering for the people who run forward-thinking UK law firms

Connecting law firm Managing Partners, COOs, Finance Directors, and IT leaders across the Katchr Network.

This Year's Theme

Foundations for the Future

Following the incredible turnout and enthusiasm at last year’s Connect conference, we’re eagerly gearing up for our 6th annual event and looking forward to reuniting with familiar faces, and, likewise introducing our newcomers to the Katchr network.

As with previous events, this is a great chance for you to network with other law firms and hear lots of advice and best practice around running a law firm in 2026. It’s an invitation-only event for a special group of law firms. Come along and hear from experts and your peers about how to maximise your value from Katchr. We are creating an agenda not to be missed with speakers on law firm management, roundtable discussions and breakout sessions.

A unique benefit of Katchr Connect will be the chance to meet with other law firms using the Katchr products. Find out best practices around using data in your law firm. We’ll be facilitating roundtable and breakout discussions to help you gain industry insights, and you’ll also get to find out our future plans and a software roadmap for 2026-27.
