Bjarne Tellmann spoke at the College of Law on November 4 about how Artificial Intelligence is changing law firms, their clients, and the future of legal work, drawing on his book, “Law in the Era of AI: Clients, Firms, and the Future of the Legal Industry.”
Tellmann, CEO of FjordStream Advisors and former chief legal officer at Haleon and Pearson, is a leading scholar on AI’s impact on legal institutions and currently teaches at Yale Law School. He traced how law firm structures have evolved and which historical events pushed the industry to change. He then explained how AI is transforming businesses across sectors and what that means for the law firms and lawyers that serve them.
He also addressed skills young lawyers will need as they enter the workforce and how AI could affect the justice system and access to justice.
The event was co-hosted by The Law in World Affairs Program at the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, the Law, Society and Policy Program, and the College of Law.
