AI Adoption: From Optional to Essential
Convened by AI West in partnership with Bristol Law Society, Bristol and Bath Legal Tech and ICAEW West of England.
The conversation around AI in professional services has moved on from whether firms should adopt it. The challenge now is deciding what to adopt first, what it costs and how to measure whether it is working.
This session will look at what TiPS has learned from working directly with small and mid-sized law and accountancy firms across the UK.
What we’ll cover
- What has worked in law and accountancy firms, and what has not
- Where firms can lose money during adoption
- What the UKJT statement means for supervising AI use
- A free online resource developed from three years of working with professional services firms
Who it’s for
Partners, fee earners and innovation leads at small and mid-sized law firms and accountancy practices. No technical background required.
Speakers
Professor James Faulconbridge, Lancaster University and co-lead of TiPS, and Francisco Trincado-Munoz, Associate Professor in Business Analytics at Oxford Brookes Business School.
TiPS is funded by ESRC and Innovate UK and delivered by Lancaster University, Oxford Brookes University and the University of Salford. Since January 2024, it has supported more than 60 professional services firms across the UK.
