How did Sahar Farooqi spend the past twelve months launching Legal Ensia and winning key clients?
And it has been a busy twelve months. Can you tell us about the twelve months in the space of a couple of minutes?

Um In the last twelve months I've launched Legal Ensia. That had just happened last time uh we did this. Yep. I'm going down the stairs that way. Yep, we're going down again. And that's been uh a roaring success. We've we've picked up some some really cool clients um which have seen us go uh around the Middle East, particularly in Oman. Yep. Um and also A number of law firm clients.
Why does Sahar consider Legal Tech Talk the premier legal networking event and what’s new this year?
Most notably Arba Law, um, who having completed a transformation process for Uh, I've recently been appointed as their managing partner. So Yeah, that's a lot. That is a lot.
And it's huge congratulations, by the way, on the appointment. Richly deserved.

I absolutely love it. It is my favourite legal networking event and It's amazing to see how it's grown.
What will Sahar’s stage talk cover about navigating fear and building tech fluency for law‑firm leaders?
It's not surprising because of what Bradley and the team do. I don't know if you can actually flip the camera around, but you know, this is this is not even one fifteenth of of what is going on here. Yeah, let's keep going. And of course, of course the big the big thing this year as well has been the fact that LTT has announced Miami next year in December. Yeah. So this thing is is huge and it's just getting bigger and bigger. So so much exciting stuff going on at LTT, so much exciting stuff going on at Legal Ensia. So much exciting stuff going on at Arvalore. I just don't know how to keep my feet on the ground. Absolutely.
