Navigating the Law with Generative AI (2026) (On Demand)

Buy Now

This On Demand was recorded on 12 February 2026.

Generative AI has come in leaps and bounds over the past couple of years. As employment lawyers, it is important to embrace this continuously advancing technology. In particular, generative AI can provide responses to a wide variety of legal queries, assist with presentations and seminars, and draft a range of legal documents (including correspondence and court documents).      

To make the most of the potential generative AI presents, it is critical to have a good understanding of what generative AI involves and how to use it most effectively. It is important that users embrace this technology vigilantly and are aware of the potential legal risks.  

This On Demand will explore the considerable benefits generative AI has to offer and will also address potential legal risks, along with strategies to mitigate them. 

 

Learning Outcomes

  • Explore what generative AI is;
  • Discuss how legal practitioners can make the most of generative AI in practice;
  • Consider the ways in which generative AI can impact the practice of law; and
  • Uncover various potential legal risks generative AI can give rise to (and how to mitigate them).


Who Should Watch?

All legal practitioners, human resources personnel, and in-house counsel.

This On Demand will provide examples within an employment law context, but its insights will be valuable for all legal practitioners and practice managers.
