AI in Legal Practice - Strategy, Implementation & Compliance - A Leadership Perspective

Introduction

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the legal sector, leadership teams are increasingly required to make clear, strategic decisions about its adoption. The question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to implement it in a controlled, compliant and commercially effective way.

Led by expert speaker Paul Bennett, an experienced solicitor with deep expertise in legal regulation and law firm performance, this new virtual classroom seminar offers a practical, leadership-focused approach to AI adoption in legal practice. It is designed to support decision-makers in developing a structured strategy that balances innovation with governance, risk management and measurable business outcomes.

Drawing on real-world experience, this session moves beyond theory to demonstrate how AI can be applied in practice, including live demonstrations of key tools and workflows. It also explores how firms can progress from uncertainty to confident, organisation-wide adoption, supported by clear frameworks, relevant case studies and an understanding of regulatory requirements.

This session will equip legal leaders to make informed, commercially grounded decisions about AI investment and implementation - ensuring technology delivers real value while maintaining professional standards and client trust.
