Artificial intelligence is changing the way people access, capture and share data. The popularity of voice-activated assistants such as Siri, Alexa and Google, is just an example of how the understanding of language by intelligent tech has become an essential element in people’s daily production and management of information.

New tech is not only affecting the individual and social spheres of people’s lives – but it is also changing working patterns and the way businesses produce wealth.

This webinar looks at how new tech is changing working habits for lawyers, and how upcoming developments will shape professionals for the future, towards new and more efficient ways of working.

  • Old vs new – working habits lawyers should leave in the past
  • What are the implications for firms with lawyers stuck in old working habits?
  • How are firms (and their lawyers) benefiting from embracing new tech?
  • How can firms bridge the gap of technology adoption between enthusiasts and strugglers?
