Legal AI Roadshow to Help Practitioners Harness Technology Responsibly

Legal Practitioner Roadshow on Artificial Intelligence

The Legal Practitioner Roadshow on Artificial Intelligence is a new initiative designed to support lawyers as they navigate the rapidly evolving impact of AI on the legal profession.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into legal practice, the profession faces a pivotal moment. AI offers significant potential to enhance efficiency and service delivery, but it also raises important considerations around ethics, confidentiality, and professional responsibilities. The Roadshow provides a practical forum to explore these developments and help practitioners approach them with confidence.

Following the successful first event on 26 November at Ulster University’s Belfast campus, the Roadshow will continue across Northern Ireland, offering CPD-accredited symposiums, free of charge, that examine how AI is reshaping legal research, document management, client communication, and decision-making.

“Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept; it is already influencing how we deliver legal services. Through this roadshow, we want to bring clarity to what AI means in practice—its opportunities, its risks, and its implications for professional standards. We are delighted to partner with the Law Society to support the profession through this period of change.”

David A Lavery CB, Chief Executive of the Law Society of Northern Ireland

“There is no doubt that the use of artificial intelligence within the legal sector is continuing to grow and is opening up new and innovative opportunities for legal professionals. Through our partnership with the Centre for Legal Technology, we want to support members across Northern Ireland to embrace these new technologies and understand ways to mitigate emerging risks and issues.”

Tim Brundle, Director of Research and Impact at Ulster University and CLT Advisory Board Member

“Artificial intelligence is transforming every sector, and the legal profession is no exception. At Ulster University, we are committed to equipping practitioners with the knowledge and tools to harness these technologies responsibly. This Roadshow reflects our mission to support innovation while safeguarding the principles of ethics and professionalism that underpin the law.”

The Legal Practitioner Roadshow on Artificial Intelligence will continue to visit cities and towns across Northern Ireland in the coming months. All events are free to attend and open to the wider legal community.
