Webinar – 14 November 2024 (9.30-10.30am)
This will be an AI webinar with a difference. It will NOT be another discussion about how fundamentally important AI is (yes, we know that) and where AI might take us. Nor will it review the AI startups, and the pioneering experiments that the huge City firms are doing with these trailblazers.
Instead, we will reveal what the main legal vendors are doing, what this already allows law firms to automate and what will be possible in 2025. Furthermore, our panel will explain what firms need to do to be ready for these changes.
For this session, we envisage that the questions might include:
- What simple AI has been in use in the legal sector for years?
- What are the 'low-hanging fruit' improvements that the latest AI offers any law firm?
- What AI is being discussed, but is actually a long way from becoming reliable and useful.
- How are legal chatbots being used to transform the handling of online enquiries?
- How does AI already make onboarding faster and more reliable?
- At this stage, what kinds of legal research can AI be relied on to handle safely?
- How does it speed up document creation and form-filling?
- Why is good data management so important to implementing AI?
- How is AI gradually making certain types of law uneconomic for any but the largest firms?
- How is it impacting conveyancing and its digital transformation?
- What progress are the main PMS/DMS vendors making and what AI-related product improvements can we expect in 2025?
A panel will take questions from the host and the attendees. Surveys and live polls will ensure that the speakers cover the aspects that the attendees deem most important.
The webinar will provide clear steps towards using AI/automation today and preparing for more AI/automation in 2025.
Host and panel
Our panel includes Jeremy Hyman, a well-known IT consultant in the legal sector who also brings a wealth of knowledge from advising major accounting firms.
Jeremy will be joined by Brendan Ridge of Intapp, who understands what Intapp and other vendors are prioritising.
The panel is completed by Cathy Kirby of Baskerville Drummond, who we have tasked with explaining the AI opportunities for small and medium-sized law firms (and quizzing Jeremy and Brendan from this angle).
As usual, the webinar's host is Andy Poole, a legal sector partner at accountants Armstrong Watson.
