I am excited to share that today I had the pleasure of attending the Legal Cheek x A&O Shearman event on AI and innovation in the legal industry. Hearing from Francesca Bennetts , Eleanor Ley , and Emma Jing was both insightful and inspiring, each bringing a different perspective on how technology is shaping the legal space. One of the key points that resonated with me was the growing importance of adaptability and digital awareness alongside traditional legal skills. It is encouraging to hear how firms are involving junior lawyers in pilots and practical applications, giving them the chance to contribute directly to innovation. The discussion highlighted that while AI is helping to streamline processes and reduce repetitive tasks through tools such as Harvey AI and ContractMatrix, the human elements of the role, such as judgment and problem-solving remain at the core of effective legal practice. Thank you to Francesca, Eleanor, and Emma for sharing your experiences and to Legal Cheek for hosting the event.

"I worry less about AI replacing lawyers, and more about something far more dangerous : that we will no longer be able to grow or groom real lawyers for the next generation... We are at risk of raising a generation of attorneys who can type instructions into a box, but cannot read deeply, write clearly, or think critically. And that is not a profession. That is a crisis.
