Legal professionals chart their own educational adventure at Consilio's largest-ever client event
WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 8, 2025 – Consilio, the global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, has concluded its largest marquee client education event to date, Consilio Symposium 2025. Over 787 attendees joined the virtual “Choose Your Own Adventure” experience, gaining CLE credits while navigating solutions to today’s most pressing legal challenges at the intersection of legal practice, technology, staffing, operations, and cybersecurity.
The two-day Symposium (June 17-18) featured an enriching slate of eleven CLE-accredited programs organized by Consilio’s Advanced Learning Institute (CALI), allowing attendees to chart their own learning paths through three specialized tracks: Discovery & Investigation, Evolving Technology, and Practicing Efficiently.
- The Symposium began with an inspiring, interactive keynote address from record-setting adventurer, author, and entrepreneur Jennifer Pharr Davis, recognized as a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and a member of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.
- The event culminated in a dynamic panel discussion featuring respected federal judges Andrew Peck (retired, now Senior Counsel at DLA Piper), William Matthewman, Maria Valdez, and Xavier Rodriguez. Live from Consilio’s new events facility in Miami, CASA at Coconut Grove, they dissected a spectrum of pressing issues at the intersection of technology and law.
- The event also included the launch announcement for the latest educational resource from CALI: a 200-page reference book entitled A Practical Guide to eDiscovery. The 16-chapter, 3-unit book covers both fundamentals for newer practitioners and advanced topics for experienced practitioners, and it is available now at consilio.com/ediscovery-guidebook.
"For nearly two decades, our Symposium has proven to be a vital resource for legal professionals to stay abreast of the dynamic landscape of legal, data, and technology practices. This year was no exception," said Michael Pontrelli, Client Experience Officer at Consilio." This year's 'Choose Your Own Adventure' approach allowed attendees to chart their own educational journey while addressing pressing real-world challenges. From the feedback we've received, it's clear that participants find this expert-driven content invaluable in navigating these complex intersections of law and technology."
“The Consilio Advanced Learning Institute provides practical, actionable knowledge to guide legal practitioners through uncharted territory," said Matthew Verga, Director of Education for CALI. “Symposium 2025 presented a comprehensive slate of educational content, blending theory and practice to address the newest challenges and drawing record-breaking attendance. We’re also very excited about the publication of our new guidebook, which we hope will aid practitioners of all levels. We look forward to continuing to deliver cutting-edge content that drives the legal profession forward at next year's event and in future editions of A Practical Guide to eDiscovery."
