Well-known UK legal sector figure Michael Cross, News Editor of the Law Society Gazette will act as our chair on the day. Cross has been reporting on AI and technology worldwide since the 1980s, for publications including The Independent and New Scientist, and has also spent the past decade specialised in covering transformation in the UK legal sector.
“The legal profession is on the tipping point of a revolution,” warns Cross.
“For decades, lawyers have famously eschewed information technology – but this is now changing, as clients and the courts system alike demand digital approaches to legal work.
“This conference is one of the first in the UK to explore the possibilities across different sectors of law, from both the provider and the client’s perspective, of the entry of AI and blockchain into the picture.
“It will not come up with all the answers – but will generate the questions that everyone who works in or buys legal services needs to be asking.”
“We have created Think AI For Legal in response to a clear need for the British legal sector to get the chance of quality information and guidance around what practitioners tell us they see as a potential earthquake, changing everything they do,” added the Managing Director of Think Digital Partners, Lucy Brown.
As with all Think events, the emphasis will be on practical information and knowledge acquisition for delegates.
