Social Mobility in the Age of AI: A PRIME Perspective on Supporting Access to the Legal Profession
AI is reshaping how legal talent is recruited, assessed and developed — but without care, it risks reinforcing existing barriers to entry rather than widening access. This session, led by PRIME, explores what social mobility means in an AI‑enabled legal profession and the responsibility organisations have as technology accelerates change.
The session will look at PRIME’s work with member law firms and in‑house legal teams, exploring practical approaches and emerging best practice for supporting access to the profession. Facilitated small-group discussions will invite participants to reflect on the challenges and opportunities AI presents, and how organisations can use new tools intentionally to support fairer, more inclusive pathways into legal careers.
Key Takeaways:
