Closing Debate | The Future of Legal Practice is Agentic
We close the conference with a high-energy debate on whether legal practice is heading into an agentic future or is already there! It will be provocative, practical and fun, with debaters taking opposing sides on what agents could mean for lawyers, allied legal professionals, business services, law firms, legal departments, the community legal sector and clients. Expect a lively, engaging, substantive and maybe even scary conclusion to the day!
