Training Lawyers for the Age of AI
Training is having a moment like never before as GenAI is causing an evolution of the associate role. This is making law firm leaders to consider what new skills associates need, how they should learn these skills, and who is best placed to train them.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss these issues and more, and we’ll also look at Goodwin’s innovative training program designed to prepare associates for the GenAI era, which won the Financial Times’s 2024 innovation award in the category of skills & people.
It’s free to attend, but please RSVP here.
