Description

Today law firms and general counsels are faced with enormous challenges in dealing with new generations that are entering the workplace. Generation Z and Generation Alpha are tech savvy, keen to learn fast (and not necessarily grind) and ready to explore new job opportunities without fear.

If this wasn’t hard enough, lawyers are forced to reckon with increasing cost of compliances and tightening budgets. Enter AI. In this panel, we will explore how lawyers are leveraging AI, issues around impact on revenue and productivity, confidentiality, privilege, liability and insurance, etc. Can generative AI really make a difference? And is it for everyone?
