About

In a world of remote working and remote studying, how do we ensure the quality of training when building the lawyer of the future? When a lot of the foundational learning that you would traditionally experience as a junior lawyer is now easily automated by AI, what impact is that having on the training and therefore calibre of future lawyers? Is there a skills gap? Join this session to debate whether the way we train our future lawyers has evolved and kept pace with the changing ways of working and the expected skills:
• What are you hiring your junior lawyers to do? What do you need them to be good at and how do you support them to deliver what they need to be delivering?
• How are firms and in-house teams developing their junior talent when work that was traditionally done by them has now been made redundant by process efficiencies?
• Where do you turn to for training? Should law firms still be the main training organisations for future lawyers?

• Do larger companies or teams even need to be hiring junior lawyers if they have all these process efficiencies and automation in place?
• Is PQA still a meaningful measure nowadays? Has the world changed in terms of different types of experience and how we measure experience?
