"Legal IT is an essential meeting place for all lawyers wishing to keep abreast of the latest technological developments and their application in a legal context, and this 15th edition proves it all the more. The JBM is proud to be able to offer such a rich and diversified program, which we are convinced will personally and professionally enrich all participants" Mathieu Jacques, President of the JBM.
"The Legal.IT conference is a crossroads of ideas and people gravitating around law, technology, and the business reality that can't get enough of both. This year, we're back in the virtual realm with hot topics like cybersecurity, NFTs, influencers, the metaverse, and 21st century gold; depending on which side you're on: data or bitcoin. We're hosting a face-to-face closing cocktail party for the first time since 2019, and look forward to seeing you again!

The Young Bar of Montreal
Founded in 1898, the Young Bar Association of Montreal brings together over 5,000 members of the Montreal section of the Quebec Bar who have been practicing for ten years or less. These young lawyers work in all areas of the law, making their mark professionally. They are the next generation of lawyers, both nationally and internationally. They form an influential group, committed to the community, and are destined to become leaders in all spheres of society. When it comes to public affairs, the JBM's mandate is to position itself as a key player in the popularization of current legislation. http://ajbm.qc.ca/
