Patronage 2026

The Summit is held under the patronage of Dr. Stefanie Hubig.

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.”
