Join us on Wednesday 5 March with speaker Alex Harding, a barrister and Head of Claims at a transactional risk advisory firm, to discuss productivity in the legal profession and the future impact of Artificial Intelligence.

Discussion topics will include:

• How modern legal practice has come to be dominated by constant connectivity and certain ‘shallow’ skills
• Why many of these developments in working practice were unintended and not optimally productive
• How the technological advancements of computing and AI may soon render some of these skills valueless
• Why lawyers need to rediscover uninterrupted ‘Deep Work’ and the value of daily routine to produce high-quality work, which is not easily replicable

The talk will also include practical tips on how to create working systems to improve daily productivity. Each attendee will also receive a short briefing note after the talk providing a step-by-step guide on how to implement the practical tips that are discussed.
