The AI era: What’s next for lawyers and their clients?

With Linklaters

Apply to attend

Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating new opportunities for law firms and the businesses they advise. Join us on Friday 30 October for a virtual student event with Linklaters, where we’ll explore how the firm’s lawyers and its clients are using AI, and what this could mean for aspiring lawyers entering the profession.

Linklaters is at the forefront of AI in law, and recently launched its Applied Intelligence practice -- a team of data scientists and lawyers bringing AI-enabled solutions to clients. Recognised for doing things differently, the firm has also won two FT Innovative Lawyers Awards and was the only firm to achieve a perfect innovation score. This session will examine the new roles and capabilities that AI is bringing to firms, how Linklaters is combining legal expertise with AI to tackle complex legal challenges, and how the firm advises clients on the commercial, regulatory and governance issues surrounding the adoption of AI technologies.

The speakers will discuss the opportunities AI presents, the risks businesses must navigate and the key developments aspiring lawyers should be following as the technology continues to evolve. You’ll gain insights into how AI is influencing the way lawyers work, the advice clients need and the skills that could become increasingly valuable to those entering the legal profession.

Following a series of short talks and a panel discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to network with the speakers, trainees and members of Linklaters’ graduate recruitment team.

Apply to attend above. You will be asked to submit two questions to the firm.
