BSN North Panel Event – Navigating the AI Transition

The Black Solicitors Network (North) is delighted to invite you to a panel event exploring the impact of AI on the legal profession.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be an insightful evening where we will hear from our distinguished panel of speakers, who will explore some of the most pressing questions facing junior to mid-level lawyers today, including: Are lawyers an endangered species? What skills should junior lawyers prioritise to remain relevant in the age of AI? How significant is the risk of bias in AI training data, and what does this mean for minorities?

Our expert panel brings together deep knowledge at the intersection of law and AI:
