2025 Theme - Corporate and Commercial Law: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Legal Practice in the Caribbean
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), societal interactions, in many respects, have changed forever. The advent of AI has revolutionised how we function in our daily lives. In this same vein, the rapid development of this technology as it relates legal practice has become a topical issue in the last few years. AI presents various opportunities for Caribbean legal practice but is not without its own risks. Concerns have been raised about the future need for human lawyers with the advent of AI. The stark reality is that businesses (including legal practices) which do not embrace the benefits of AI risk being left behind. This year’s workshop will seek to explore the legal implications of AI on various areas of legal practice especially within the Caribbean context.
Panels include:
. AI and Corporate Practice
. AI and Future of Employment in Law
. AI and the Small Legal Practice/Solo Practitioners
. The Use of AI in the Dispute Resolution Process
. AI and Taxation
. AI and Corporate Governance
. AI - Ethical Considerations
. Impact of AI on Intellectual Property Law
