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.

In the second session, taking steps from a case study from a senior
partner thrown together with his son during covid in London,
we will be going through the practicalities of life in the legal
profession as old and young, juniors and seniors, and those with
plenty of legal experience but limited tech ability find their ways
with the need to collaborate, work and learn together like never
before. We will then hear experiences from other senior and more
junior lawyers across the international stage with their tips on how
to navigate life in today’s legal world..
