Overview:
This session gives attorneys a practical, immediately applicable guide to using AI tools - specifically Claude - to save time without compromising accuracy, confidentiality, or professional standards.
Attendees will learn what AI can and cannot do in a legal context, the specific do's and don'ts that every attorney needs to know before using AI in their practice, and the prompting techniques that produce the most useful, accurate, and professionally appropriate output.
Why you should Attend:
Every hour you spend on tasks AI could support is an hour not spent on strategy, client relationships, or the work that actually requires your legal expertise. If you are billing time on document summaries, routine drafting, and research organisation that AI can handle in minutes - you are not just losing time. You are leaving capacity on the table that your practice cannot afford to waste. And if you are avoiding AI entirely because you are unsure what is safe, what is effective, and what to watch out for - this session answers every one of those questions.
