This workshop focuses on Microsoft Copilot, as most practitioners already have access to Microsoft 365 in their practice. Copilot offers one of the easiest entry points into AI due to its seamless integration with tools practitioners use every day, including Word, Outlook, Excel and Teams.
The session combines practical demonstrations with interactive exercises and will cover data privacy, governance considerations, and real-world legal applications of AI.
