Claude for Lawyers: AI Across the Entire Legal Work Cycle

Most lawyers who have started using artificial intelligence are using it for a single task, usually drafting, and stopping there. This session takes a wider view. Memory Nguwi, Managing Consultant at Industrial Psychology Consultants, walks through the entire legal work cycle, from client intake and matter scoping through legal research, drafting, review, negotiation and closing, showing where these tools genuinely lift the quality of legal work and where they quietly undermine it. The session begins with the foundations, what a large language model actually is and why that determines what you can safely trust it with, before moving into the professional questions that matter most in practice: confidentiality, privilege, verification of authority, and knowing which tasks to hand over, which to supervise closely and which to keep entirely human. It is built for practising lawyers rather than technologists. There is no coding and no hype, only what you need to know before you type a single prompt.
