Litigation rarely runs at a steady pace – most practitioners know the scramble of urgent applications, last-minute amendments and discovery, and numerous client calls, WhatsApp messages and meetings to attend. This session takes a practical look at how AI can ease that load, not by replacing legal judgment, but by cutting out inefficiencies that slow down busy litigation teams. We’ll look at where AI actually helps in day-to-day legal practice: handling high volumes of information received on various platforms, speeding-up research, managing deadlines proactively, and keeping track of the moving pieces in complex matters.

The discussion also focuses on the softer, but equally critical, side of litigation work – communication. Whether it’s coordinating internally across teams or keeping clients updated without endless back-and-forth, attendees will learn concrete ways to tighten up communication lines and avoid common workflow hurdles.

Throughout, we’ll return to a key principle: AI is most effective when it takes routine weight off your desk while leaving the strategic calls firmly in your hands. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of where AI fits into real litigation practice, and how to use it to save time, improve accuracy, and maintain the standard of service which clients expect.

1. Spot the parts of litigation practice where AI saves the most time, without compromising quality.

2. Adopt simple ways to streamline communication and workflow so teams and clients stay aligned.

3. Bring in automation while keeping the attorney’s judgment central to every decision, ensuring client confidence and professional integrity.
