AI in Legal Practice Series
Legal privilege in the age of AI

Risks, responsibilities and best practice

Join leaders from Thomson Reuters, The Law Society of NSW and Thomson Geer for a practical discussion on how legal teams can adopt AI responsibly — without compromising trust, privilege or control.

AI is already reshaping how legal professionals research, draft and advise — but not all AI tools are designed for legal work, and not all environments protect sensitive legal information in the same way.

As legal teams increasingly explore AI adoption, concerns around confidentiality, privilege, data handling and governance are becoming more urgent.

In this session, we’ll move beyond theory to examine the practical realities of AI use in corporate legal environments — including where risks emerge, what legal teams need to consider, and how organisations can approach adoption responsibly.

Led by Thomson Reuters Practical Law, this session will provide practical guidance to help legal teams assess AI risks, establish internal guardrails and make informed decisions about implementation.
