Preview – Law Firm Day – Artificial Lawyer

Legal Innovators UK, the landmark legal tech conference in London, is fast approaching. Here’s a peek into what we’ll be exploring on Law Firm Day – 4th November.

The overarching theme this year is: where have we got to with genAI and where are we heading next?

Since November 2022 the field of legal tech has changed enormously and many law firms have brought in multiple new AI products, or products from companies that have updated their offering to wield genAI skills as well.

But, what impact has this had?

How has it changed how lawyers work?

What benefits have they gained?

What challenges have these firms faced?

This will naturally mean hearing from experts in the field, those at law firms at the cutting edge of implementation, as well as those developing these tools. It’s about an open appraisal of the realities of AI-driven change. We should not expect absolute transformation – not yet – but at the same time there genuinely are the first signs of a significant evolution in the way lawyers work, and all because of genAI.

Of course, this change process is really only just beginning, and there is a long, positive road ahead, especially for those focused on legal innovation.

So, here’s some of the key sessions to look out for:

Market Maturity Check: GenAI in Practice – Examines the scale, maturity and impact that GenAI has had on the industry overall.

M&A in a GenAI World: A New Wave of Disruption – AI has long promised to transform M&A, but the arrival of GenAI promises a new wave of disruption. We explore the practical ways GenAI is streamlining due diligence, transforming deal management, and even influencing negotiation strategies.

Navigators of Change: Redefining the Knowledge function in the age of GenAI – Exploring how the Knowledge function is evolving to be a central force in law firms’ innovation and AI strategies.

Legal Advice to Legal Platforms: Legal Tech and the Law Firm-Client Relationship – Increasingly, law firms are positioning technology as part of their service model and marketing tools directly to their clients.

Future-Proofing Legal Talent: Training Lawyers in the Age of AI – As AI transforms routine legal work and high-volume tasks that once served as essential training grounds for junior lawyers, concerns are growing about how to develop the next generation of legal professionals.

And much, much more, including a whole host of presentations and keynotes on a range of subjects and legal AI tools.

Naturally, we will have plenty more to tell you over the next two months, with news about speakers, more sponsors, and details about the two other days of the conference: Inhouse Day – 5th November, and Litigation Day – 6th November.

We’re excited already!
