Join us on the afternoon of Tuesday 28 July for a virtual student event on artificial intelligence (AI) and the law, run in partnership with The University of Law (ULaw).
We’ll be hearing from lawyers at three leading firms, A&O Shearman, Macfarlanes and Osborne Clarke, about how the boom in generative AI is reshaping the commercial environment for their clients — and the types of legal work this is generating. Joining them will be a legal tech specialist from The University of Law, to provide a perspective on how students need to be thinking about AI as they prepare for the new training contract application cycle.
Also up for discussion will be the internal initiatives the firms are pioneering that apply the power of AI to data-heavy aspects of legal practice like document review, and how ULaw is incorporating legal tech into its teaching.
The speakers
• Joshua Mercer, associate in the markets innovation group at A&O Shearman
• Adam Curphey, director of innovation at Macfarlanes
• Further speakers to be announced
After an hour-long panel discussion chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, there will be virtual networking with the speakers, members of the firms’ early careers teams, as well as ULaw’s employability team.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
