We are delighted to introduce the latest edition of our Home Grown Academy newsletter. 

As the year draws to a close, we have reflected on the challenges and successes 2024 has provided, and what we have learned from them as we look towards the new year.

We held our first next-gen in-house lawyer workshop, which was a great success, and we are looking forward to the next workshop which will be held in the new year. For the benefit of next-gen lawyers, this aims to empower them with the skills they need for the future, with sessions ranging from networking with confidence and authenticity to preparing for more senior roles.

More widely, AI continues to be at the forefront of our minds as we learn to navigate this new digitally driven landscape. At Dentons, we did a deep dive into how AI is being embraced across several sectors, the results of which are published in our recent “Laws of AI Traction” report. Our research findings have far-reaching implications and clearly show a significant gap between the ambition of businesses to leverage AI solutions and their progress towards AI adoption. A big factor in this hesitancy is the ambiguity trap created by changing and fragmented laws and regulations.

Dentons’ work in the in-house legal sector has ingrained in the firm the importance of having confidence when embracing new tools and technologies, as well as the need for a clear understanding of regulatory issues. AI is here to stay and will become increasingly entrenched in professional and personal lives, so it is vital that we, as lawyers, lay the groundwork now to support our organisations in navigating this transition.
