The Federal Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection is once again supporting the German Legal Tech Summit 2026 as patron – just as she did last year.
“Artificial intelligence is both: it is a technology with enormous potential, including for the law. And it is something never seen before, with unknown risks. With the right rules, we can harness the opportunities of AI as a tool and minimise the risks. We need to talk about both – and the 4th German Legal Tech Summit is exactly the right place to do so.”
