In 2027, TechLaw.Fest enters a new chapter with the launch of LegalWeek Asia, in partnership with TechLaw.Fest, on 28 and 29 September in Singapore.

We caught up with Yeong Zee Kin, Chief Executive of the Singapore Academy of Law, and Nick Brailey, Chief Executive of Law.com, to hear what excites them most about bringing the two platforms together and what the legal community can look forward to next year.

Watch the conversation as they share their perspectives on what lies ahead for TechLaw.Fest and LegalWeek Asia.

Over two packed days, conversations, connections and ideas brought the legal and technology communities together to exchange perspectives on the ideas and developments shaping the future of law.

This year, TechLaw.Fest welcomed more than 2,000 participants from over 30 countries, with:

โ€ข 210 speakers
โ€ข 84 sessions across the conference, Tech Talk and Tech Bytes programmes
โ€ข 58 sponsors and exhibitors across two exhibition halls, showcasing a wide range of technologies and solutions

From discussions on AI, innovation and the future of legal practice to new partnerships and technologies on the exhibition floor, TechLaw.Fest 2026 was a reflection of a legal community looking ahead and shaping what comes next. And the journey continues.

We look forward to welcoming the legaltech community back to Singapore on 28 and 29 September 2027 for LegalWeek Asia, in partnership with TechLaw.Fest.

And a big thank you to our speakers, partners, sponsors, exhibitors and everyone who joined us from Singapore and around the world. See you in 2027!

Over two days, lawyers, technologists, policymakers, business leaders and innovators came together to explore how law can provide a trusted foundation for navigating change.

Day 1 set the tone with welcome remarks by The Honourable Justice Aidan Xu from the Supreme Court of Singapore, an Opening Address by Senior Minister of State for Law and Transport Murali Pillai SC, and a keynote by The Honourable Hon Judith Collins KC, President of Law Commission of New Zealand. We also launched the SAL Wills Registry, signed an MOU with the Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP) and Singapore Mediation Centre, and a separate MOU with Jus Mundi.

Day 2 opened with The Honourable Justice Kwek Mean Luck from the Supreme Court of Singapore, and Ms Sarah Sackman KC, Minister of State, Ministry of Justice, United Kingdom. Discussions spanned LawNetโ€™s latest developments, AI, digital assets, intellectual property and access to justice.

A defining milestone was SALโ€™s three-year partnership with Law.com, backed by Centellic, to launch Legalweek Asia, in partnership with TechLaw.Fest.

The energy continued with The Lionโ€™s Pit, presented by Ministry of Law, Singapore and The Law Society of Singapore, and the launch of the Information and Communications Technology Law in Singapore (Second Edition) by authors Warren B. Chik and Saw Cheng Lim.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the conversations, connections and ideas that made TechLaw.Fest 2026 a success.

Youโ€™ve made a Will. But will your loved ones know where to find it when the time comes?

The Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) has launched the Wills Repository Service, enabling individuals to securely deposit a digital copy of their Will with SAL through participating law firms.

The new service builds on SALโ€™s Wills Registry, which records whether a Will exists, who prepared it and where the original signed Will is kept. With the Wills Repository Service, authorised persons can also access a securely stored digital copy when it is needed. Together, these services provide greater assurance that a Will can be located and its contents accessed during what can already be a difficult time for families. Digital copies are protected by encryption and strict access controls, with access limited to persons nominated and authorised by the individual.

To encourage adoption, SAL is offering complimentary deposits through participating law firms from 9 September 2026 to 31 March 2027.

Alongside the launch, SAL has released a short public education video, The Last Sign, that uses a fictional and dramatised scenario to highlight the importance of ensuring that loved ones can locate relevant Will information when it is needed. Catch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jfg0-V1NTA
