Vizlegal CEO engages with innovation-minded solicitors of tomorrow
An overview of how future solicitors and barristers will be engaging with legal technology as part of their professional roles. The integration of AI in research and information as well as workflow.
The 'Future of Legal Practice' conference at the Law Society of Ireland offered the perfect setting to explore a question that is reshaping our profession: how will technology transform the way solicitors work?
Gavin Sheridan, CEO, had the pleasure of presenting alongside Isabella Hughes from EstateMin, engaging directly with the next generation of legal professionals on all things legal-tech and law.
The conference raised fundamental questions that every modern law practice must grapple with:
- How will technology supplement legal expertise?
- How can the operation of practices be enhanced with relevant technology? These are not abstract concerns for us at Vizlegal – they sit at the very heart of what we do.
Our Focus at Vizlegal
Our focus is clear at Vizlegal : to leverage the data that practitioners interact with daily – court data, sources across employment, planning, and tax disciplines, legal diaries, and filings, to mention a few – and deliver time back to practitioners so they can get on with delivering what they do best.
Ultimately, the goal of legal technology should never be to replace the expertise of solicitors and barristers, but to remove the friction and administrative burden allowing them to focus on what truly matters: advising clients, building arguments and assisting the courts, and relevant adjudicating bodies.
