Course overview

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the way contracts are drafted, reviewed and managed - bringing both remarkable efficiencies and complex new challenges for legal professionals.

AI is no longer a future concept in contracting - it’s already here, reshaping how lawyers draft, negotiate, review and assess risk every day.

For in-house lawyers, it promises real efficiency and reduced reliance on external firms for routine work. But it also raises serious questions about accuracy, accountability and professional responsibility. One of the real benefits of AI is not in replacing lawyers, but in freeing them up to focus on the judgment calls that only lawyers can make.

This practical half-day session explores how AI is changing the way commercial contracts are drafted, the risks lawyers need to manage and the emerging best practices. The expert trainer gives a lawyer’s view of AI drafting: what it can do, where it goes wrong, and how to manage the risks. It explains how to keep control of quality, protect confidentiality and stay on the right side of regulation, while taking advantage of the technology.

The session combines a balanced mix of theory and explanation, real-world examples and interactive discussion to provide a practical solution to your drafting challenges in this new era.

This training course is part of our Commercial & Business Law Training Course collection which has been designed for the in-house lawyer.
