Rewiring the law firm: how AI and legal analytics are reshaping the way lawyers research, reason, and practise and what a technology-native firm looks like

AI is moving beyond automation and document workflows, transforming how lawyers research, analyse information, and approach legal reasoning. As technology becomes embedded into the foundations of legal practice, firms are rethinking what it means to operate in an AI-enabled environment — from the tools they use to the way they structure teams, deliver advice, and create value for clients.

In this session, we will explore how AI and legal analytics are shaping the next generation of law firms. Discover what is genuinely possible today, where human judgment remains critical, and how technology can enhance — rather than replace — the expertise, ethics, and decision-making at the heart of legal practice.

Join us for a deep dive into:

• What algorithmic law means and how it differs from traditional legal technology.
• How AI is strengthening legal research, precedent analysis, and strategic decision-making.
• Building technology-native firms versus simply adding AI to existing workflows.
• Balancing innovation with professional judgment, confidentiality, accuracy, and ethical obligations.
• How AI can level the playing field for smaller firms and independent practitioners.
• The future of legal practice, collaboration, and firm models in the next three to five years.
