AI is transforming the way legal professionals work, from drafting documents to conducting legal research and improving operational efficiency. However, the rapid adoption of AI is creating new challenges for risk and compliance teams, particularly where unauthorised AI tools are being used without appropriate oversight.
Join this online event to explore how legal organisations can embrace the benefits of AI whilst protecting personal data, maintaining client confidentiality and meeting their regulatory obligations.
The use of AI within legal organisations is increasing at pace, often faster than organisations can establish appropriate governance and controls. As legal professionals adopt AI tools in their day-to-day work, risk and compliance teams must balance innovation with professional obligations, data protection requirements and client confidentiality.
One of the growing challenges facing legal organisations is the rise of ”Shadow AI”(the use of unauthorised AI tools) by employees without organisational approval or oversight. Without appropriate policies and safeguards, organisations risk exposing confidential information, personal data and legally privileged material.
During this event, our panel of experts will explore the practical challenges of managing AI within legal organisations and discuss how risk and compliance professionals can support responsible AI adoption whilst protecting clients and maintaining regulatory compliance.
The session will cover:
- How AI is being used across legal organisations and the opportunities it presents
- The data protection implications of using AI tools within legal practice
- Protecting client confidentiality and legally privileged information when using AI
- The growing challenge of “Shadow AI” and unauthorised use of AI tools by employees
- Practical measures to manage AI-related risks, including acceptable use policies, governance, staff training and oversight
- Future regulatory developments and what legal organisations should be doing now to prepare
You will also have the opportunity to hear practical examples from across the legal sector, ask questions and gain actionable guidance to help your organisation embrace AI safely whilst maintaining compliance and client trust.
