Law Business Research Ltd (LBR), which merged with ALM in March, announced today (9 October) that it has acquired Legal Geek, a market leading provider of legal-tech focused events and conferences.
The Legal Geek event series is hugely respected in the industry, acting as a driving force of change and innovation in the legal tech space. Legal Geek’s four events will join ALM’s existing event portfolio, which includes Legal Week, Women, Influence & Power in Law, and the IPBC series.
Legal Geek’s management team, Jimmy Vestbirk and Beth Fellner, will remain with the business and continue to lead the Legal Geek portfolio, which they have successfully grown and expanded in recent years.
Nick Brailey, LBR’s CEO, said: “We have long admired Legal Geek – the team have built a fantastic business that is unique in the industry. We are excited to support Jimmy and Beth in this next chapter of growth, and explore how we might leverage our multiple brands and existing events over time.”
Vestbirk added: “This is the right time to unlock Legal Geek’s growth and expansion, and access to ALM and LBRs’ global resources will enable Legal Geek to scale our offering in existing and new markets.”
