My talks are grounded in the reality of how AI systems actually work and how they are actually being used \u2014 not in promotional claims or in alarm. I draw on nearly thirty years at the Bar, on direct experience of using AI tools in legal workflows, and on the research behind Andrew and the Marvellous Analytical Engine. Engagements range from keynote addresses at major legal conferences to professional briefings for senior teams, after-dinner speeches, and panel appearances. I tailor each engagement to the audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Topics include: \u2014 Artificial intelligence and the legal profession: what it can do, where it goes wrong, what it will change \u2014 Judgment and machines: why professional judgment remains central in an age of AI \u2014 Prompt craft for professionals: how to use AI tools effectively and critically \u2014 AI, risk and trust: the legal, ethical and regulatory landscape \u2014 The future of legal work: billing, costs, advocacy and the changing shape of practice I am available for: \u2014 Keynote addresses (45\u201360 minutes) \u2014 Conference talks (20\u201345 minutes) \u2014 Professional briefings and workshops \u2014 After-dinner speeches \u2014 Panel appearances and chairing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fees from \u00a35,000 plus VAT, depending on format, preparation and location. International engagements considered. To make an enquiry, please complete the form below. I read all serious enquiries and aim to respond within a few working days.<\/p>\n\n\n<style
