The Reshaping Legal Services Conference 2025 took place on Thursday 6 March 2025, at the King’s Fund, London.
Organised by the Legal Services Board and Legal Services Consumer Panel, the conference brought together a wide range of people who have a role to play in ensuring legal services work better for those who need them. That included lawyers, legal services professionals, regulators, academics, students, the judiciary, charities, and advice agencies.
