Artificial Intelligence is changing how disputes are investigated, prepared, and argued — but the real value comes from practical, defensible workflows rather than “AI for AI’s sake”.

This Birmingham Law Society Legal Tech Committee event features a live demonstration from James MacGregor, Founder of Ethical eDiscovery, a specialist provider supporting investigations, litigation and dispute resolution. The demonstration will show how AI and other innovative tools are being integrated into document review and eDisclosure workflows to help legal teams triage, prioritise and review material more efficiently — while maintaining appropriate governance and professional accountability.

What to expect

• Practical demonstration led by James MacGregor: an AI-enabled document review / eDisclosure workflow in a litigation context


• Brief update: The Law Society’s Buying New Technology Guide and its practical relevance to firms adopting AI tools


• Panel discussion: what makes a workflow defensible (verification, audit trail, supervision, “human-in-the-loop”)
