National Law Review | What to Expect in 2025: AI Legal Tech and Regulation
Grateful to Oliver Roberts and his colleagues at The National Law Review for the opportunity to share my thoughts on upcoming AI trends in legal practice and beyond alongside members of the federal judiciary, startup founders, CEOs, and AI practice leaders from global law firms. These conversations are vital as we navigate the transformative impact of AI on the legal profession and beyond.
I highlighted how:
– Generative AI tools are transforming legal workflows — from drafting and contract analysis to litigation outcome predictions — enhancing efficiency and access to legal services.
– Ethical AI certifications and compliance audits will increase as firms prioritize responsible AI usage.
– Legal AI could revolutionize dispute resolution through AI-powered mediation, arbitration, and online case assessments.
When asked about surprises in 2025, I warned about a potential black swan event where AI might be weaponized to manipulate legal proceedings — fabricating evidence or falsifying contracts in high-stakes cases. The threat of this crisis should demand global coordination to address vulnerabilities and redefine digital trust in legal practice.
