TechLaw.Fest 2025 (“TLF“) took place from 10–11 September 2025, bringing together participants from around the world to engage in leading-edge conversations at the intersection of law, technology, and business. This year, LawTech.Asia had the unique privilege of interviewing the Honourable Justice Kwek Mean Luck, High Court Judge of the Supreme Court of Singapore, Chair of Board of Directors of LawNet Technology Services (“LTS”), and Chair of the Board of Governors of the Singapore Judicial College (“SJC”). Justice Kwek also delivered a Welcome Address on Day 2 of TLF 2025.

Having served with distinction in various roles in public service, Justice Kwek reflected on several areas in this interview: how judges keep up with technological advancements (that may one day raise novel legal issues in the courts); his reflections on the hopes and aspirations of young legal professionals; how young legal professionals can prepare themselves for an AI-first future; and his advice to young legal professionals on building a meaningful and lasting career.

Introduction

In the 2023 edition of Techlaw.Fest, LawTech.Asia posed the question: what’s next for law and technology? The 2024 edition of TechLaw.Fest gave us our answer: Artificial Intelligence (“AI”). 

The theme for TechLaw.Fest 2024 – “Be Ready for Tomorrow” – is a nod towards current anxieties over AI’s disruptive potential for the legal industry, as well as how AI is changing the way we think about legal issues. The theme aptly urges legal practitioners to set their sails and map ahead for the incoming wave of opportunities and challenges unleashed by new AI technologies

At the heart of TechLaw.Fest 2024 were four key topics: (1) AI in law; (2) global AI regulations and AI governance; (3) deepfakes and misinformation; and (4) inclusivity. TechLaw.Fest 2024 also saw several significant announcements, such as the launch of the Copilot for SG Law Firms module for the Legal Technology Platform (“LTP”) by the Ministry of Law, Lupl and Microsoft, and the launch of the Singapore Academy of Law’s and Microsoft’s Prompt Engineering Guide for Lawyers. We even saw a splash of pizzazz, with the 2024 Asia-Pacific Legal Innovation & Technology Association (“ALITA”) Awards demonstrating the best of legal technology in the region. 

In this article, as the legal community gears up for TechLaw.Fest 2025 (happening on 10 and 11 September 2025), we seek to re-capture the highlights of Singapore’s signature law and technology conference in 2024, and provide a glimpse of the themes and insights shared by the expert panellists.
