Generative artificial intelligence and other digital technologies are no longer emerging trends in the legal sector — they are actively shaping the future of corporate practice. From document automation to advanced analytics, technology is transforming how lawyers deliver services, manage risks, and interact with clients. To address these rapid changes, the University of British Columbia’s Peter A. Allard School of Law is hosting a thought-provoking event:
AI in Transition: Rethinking Corporate Law in the Digital Era.

A Privilege to Collaborate with UBC Law
V-Law is proud to be one of the presenters at this event. Partnering with the Allard School of Law reflects our shared commitment to advancing knowledge and preparing the next generation of lawyers for a digital-first future. It is a privilege to contribute to a forum that brings together students, faculty, and industry professionals for a candid discussion about the skills lawyers will need to remain effective as technology reshapes the profession.
Exploring the Impact of AI in Corporate Legal Practice
Artificial intelligence is creating new efficiencies in areas such as contract review, compliance monitoring, due diligence, and predictive analysis. These tools reduce repetitive work and allow lawyers to focus on higher-value strategic advice. At the same time, they raise important questions about professional responsibility, ethical use of technology, and how human judgment continues to guide client outcomes. The panel will explore how these dynamics play out in corporate law and what competencies lawyers should cultivate to thrive.
What Participants Can Expect
This session will provide a rare opportunity to hear directly from experts working at the intersection of technology and law. The discussion will focus on practical applications of AI, the challenges of integrating digital tools into established workflows, and the implications for both established practitioners and students preparing to enter the field. By attending, participants will gain clarity on how to adapt to change and identify opportunities for growth in a profession that is being reshaped by innovation.
Why This Event Matters Now
Technology adoption in corporate legal practice is accelerating, and the pace of change will only increase in the years ahead. Firms that embrace AI responsibly will not only gain efficiency but also set new standards in client service and accessibility. For lawyers and students alike, staying ahead of these developments is no longer optional — it is essential for building sustainable careers in a competitive market. This event is designed to provide exactly that forward-looking perspective.
