| 14:15 » 15:15 | Session One In the first session, we will be exploring the growth, use and potential of artificial intelligence and the new digital age and what this means for the legal profession today. Drawing on the perspectives of both private practice lawyers and experts in the field, we will examine how AI-powered tools are already transforming the way legal work is researched, drafted and delivered, and what opportunities - and challenges - this brings for lawyers at every stage of their career. From the law firm to their providers, we will consider how the profession can harness technology responsibly and effectively, while continuing to uphold the values and expertise that define it.
