About this Event
AI isn't just changing how lawyers work. It's changing the landscape around them.
Lawyers and clients are increasingly using AI, and some of the long-held assumptions about legal practice are coming under pressure.
AI offers opportunities to work more efficiently, reduce costs and improve access to legal services. But it also raises questions about accuracy, professional responsibility and the changing expectations of clients.
And what about the lawyers themselves? Will AI make legal work more manageable, or will greater efficiency simply mean greater workloads and more pressure to deliver?
Human X Machine: Rewiring Legal Practice. Solving New Equations is the UNSW Centre for the Future of the Legal Profession's annual Summit, bringing together legal professionals, researchers and industry leaders to examine these questions and consider what they mean for the future of legal practice.

- Work redesign and the human cost of productivity: How AI-driven efficiency is changing workloads, expectations and the experience of legal work.
- Rewiring the business of law: AI, investment and the future of legal practice: What AI means for pricing, business models, client expectations and the commercial future of legal services.
Two expert provocations will lead into facilitated Think Tank discussions, with the day concluding in a panel examining the economics of legal practice.
We want to hear what you think
Alongside hearing from our speakers, you'll have the opportunity to share your own experiences, question established practices and debate ideas with colleagues from across the profession.
We don't expect everyone to agree. Different perspectives, and the discussions they generate, are an important part of the day.
The ideas and insights shared during the Think Tank discussions will inform a post-Summit executive summary, published by the UNSW Centre for the Future of the Legal Profession. It will capture the key themes, debates and ideas from the day, and all participants will receive a copy once published.
Come with your questions, your opinions and your experience. We want to hear them.
