Not just faster: How Agentic AI is changing the way lawyers work

DESCRIPTION

As AI becomes embedded in everyday legal workflows, the conversation is shifting beyond productivity gains to how legal professionals can work with greater confidence, transparency, and trust. Agentic AI is transforming legal research by helping lawyers navigate complex questions, verify findings, and produce work grounded in authoritative legal sources—while keeping professional judgment firmly at the centre of the process.

In this session, we will explore how the next generation of legal AI is changing the way research is conducted, analysed, and validated. Discover how leading AI tools are supporting legal professionals through transparent reasoning, citation-backed outputs, and guided verification, enabling lawyers to meet their professional obligations while embracing innovation responsibly.

Join us for a deep dive into:

  • How agentic AI is transforming legal research beyond keyword search and automation.
  • Why transparency, citations, and authoritative content are essential for building trust in AI-assisted legal work.
  • How AI can support fiduciary and professional obligations without replacing legal judgment.
  • Practical approaches to managing verification, accuracy, and professional risk.
  • A framework for evaluating legal AI tools based on trust, transparency, and real-world impact—not just speed.
