What Is ILTA (International Legal Technology Association)?

Updated

ILTA stands for the International Legal Technology Association. It describes itself as "the trusted global resource community for legal technologists," and it is a volunteer-led, staff-managed association focused on the legal sector. Its offerings are aimed at professionals across law firms and corporate or government legal operations, not only at technologists.

Who ILTA serves

ILTA's own framing is broad: while it has "a strong focus on technology," it says its offerings support "professionals of every stripe in law firms and corporate/government legal operations." So the audience includes legal technologists, but also the wider set of roles that support legal work.

Scale and reach

The site presents several figures on its home page:

Figure What it represents
26,000+ Community size cited on the home page
100+ Additional count cited on the home page
160+ Additional count cited on the home page
20+ Additional count cited on the home page

The home page shows these numbers as headline statistics but does not label each one in the excerpt available, so treat them as indicators of scale rather than precise definitions of membership, events, or chapters.

One concrete data point comes from the ILTA 2026 Technology Survey, which the site says reports input from 508 firms representing over 139,000 lawyers and approximately 275,000 total users.

What ILTA offers

The home page links to a range of resources and programs, including:

  • ILTA On-Demand and ILTA Voices (podcasts) for recorded and audio content
  • Content Briefings, Discussion Forums, and Knowledge HUB
  • Publications and Surveys, including the annual Technology Survey
  • Just-In-Time Programming and a Live Events calendar
  • ILTACON (with an ILTACON Europe edition), EVOLVE, Legal Tech On Tour, and regional events such as Canada Rewind
  • Certifications and ACEDS Certification & Training
  • Career Center, Member Directory, myMentor, and the myILTA Mobile App
  • Communities and initiatives such as Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Women In Security, Women Who Lead, and Mental Health Survey

How to engage

The site's primary calls to action are Become a Member and Partner With Us, alongside options to Get Involved, Volunteer, and join as a Business Partner. There is also a Sign In / Register entry point, which indicates that at least some content or features sit behind an account.

The site does not state pricing for membership or events in the material available, so cost and access terms should be checked directly with ILTA rather than assumed.
