On the 23rd September 2025, our UK Vice President, Joe DiCarlo, joined the SP1 Business Solutions Legal Mixer at the F1® Arcade in London, where networking, legal innovation, and high-octane fun came together for an unforgettable evening.
The Event
Hosted at the Silverstone simulator, the event was a unique opportunity for the legal community to connect in a lively, competitive, and creative setting. With partners including FormEvo and X-Press Legal Services Group, the night blended professional insight with the thrill of racing, as guests took on Porsche Club Championship winner Simon Clark in the Silverstone simulator.
The atmosphere was electric — described by many attendees as “cracking,” “absolutely brilliant,” and “rammed with energy.” From custom cocktails and goodie bags to high-speed competition, the mixer delivered an environment where legal tech conversations flowed as fast as the races on screen.
Joe’s Reflections
Joe found the event invaluable for reconnecting with peers and discussing the challenges and opportunities facing the legal community today:
“It was great to speak with legal peers, catch up with the legal community, and talk about the way legal tech is moving forward with AI.” – Joe DiCarlo, UK Vice President, Diktamen
Legal Tech in the Fast Lane
While the simulators and competition set the stage for fun, the true focus of the evening was legal technology and innovation. Conversations revolved around how the industry is adapting, particularly with the rise of AI-powered solutions. From process automation to smarter client service, AI is accelerating change, and events like this give the community a chance to share ideas on how best to harness these tools.
A Night to Remember
From the moment the doors opened, the Briefing Room at F1® Arcade London was buzzing with energy. Four hours of non-stop networking, racing action, and collaboration reminded us how important it is to bring the legal community together outside of the office.
A huge thank you to SP1 Business Solutions, their partners, and everyone who made the night such a success. It was a brilliant reminder that professional connections and innovation can thrive in settings that are fun, dynamic, and engaging.
Looking Forward to Next Year
The SP1 Legal Mixer at F1® Arcade set the bar high — combining networking, innovation, and a truly unique venue. It showed just how powerful it is when the legal community comes together to share ideas in a dynamic and engaging way.
We’re already looking forward to seeing how this event evolves next year, and to continuing the conversations around legal technology, AI, and collaboration that are driving the industry forward.
