The Smart Lawyer Leverages AI: Practical Thoughts and It Tools for Lawyers

09.00 – 12.00

Keynote industry speakers and practitioners from different practice areas will provide insights and discuss their experiences in using AI. They will describe the type of AI they are using, or offering to lawyers, how it has helped or can help develop their practices, and they will also discuss particular challenges that lawyers may now face when using AI. We will discuss examples of AI tools used in relation with M&A, labour law and HR, as well as AI tools related to the drafting, reviewing and management of contracts, and an AI project driven by a law firm and aimed to be used by other law firms. After the presentation of these AI tools and projects, a panel discussion will take place, including Q&A with the delegates.
