Legal Technologist Programme

The Legal Technologist Programme is a collaboration between KPMG and CPO. This programme is designed for lawyers, in-house counsel, compliance professionals, privacy professionals, and other legal professionals seeking to strengthen their role in an environment where legal, technological, and business challenges are becoming increasingly interconnected. The programme is also open to legal professionals who are not employed by KPMG.

About the programme

AI, data and technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and how they are regulated. At the same time, regulation is expanding in scope and complexity, increasingly intersecting with technology and business decisions. These changes are unfolding faster than legal teams can realistically adopt through traditional ways of working, creating mounting pressure on capacity, consistency, and keeping pace with business expectations.

Legal professionals are expected to engage earlier and operate closer to the business, translating regulatory and technological change into practical guidance, while delivering more with fewer resources. This creates a widening capability gap: expectations for technology-enabled, business-aligned legal advice are rising faster than many legal professionals’ ability to consistently deliver it at speed. KPMG’s LTP is designed to close this gap.
