The Hybrid Lawyer: Where human expertise meets artificial intelligence

With A&O Shearman

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED.

Join us on the afternoon of Monday 8 September for a virtual student event with A&O Shearman.

With artificial intelligence (AI) dominating headlines and disrupting conventional working habits, lawyers are blending human judgement with digital tools to deliver innovative client services. In this context, we’ll explore the exciting intersection of law and technology, highlighting the changing nature of legal work.

Hear from senior lawyers in A&O Shearman’s London team as they share their experiences combining traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide exceptional legal advice. They will share how AI is driving innovation within the firm as it uses these tools to enhance legal analysis, streamline transactions and support strategic decision-making.

The panel will also provide insight into the changing regulatory landscape and complex ethical considerations that surround AI, emphasising the importance of using this technology responsibly. They will also reflect on the skills that future lawyers need to be developing to ensure they thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape.

The speakers

Francesca Bennetts, partner in the markets innovation group
Emma Jing, associate in the markets innovation group
Eleanor Ley, head of innovation for global financial markets

After short talks and a panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, A&O Shearman trainees and members of the firm’s graduate recruitment team.
