The Intense AI-Literacy Course for Legal Counsels

Why enrol?

Artificial Intelligence is not a future trend; it’s a foundational technology that is actively reshaping the legal profession. Your clients expect precise, business-driven advice delivered at speed. Drafting time, regulatory churn and fixed‑fee pressure are rising, but so is the power of generative AI. It can remove hours of manual work if you know how to steer it confidently. AI for Legal gives you that edge in just three focused designed modules, totalling just eight hours to transform your business.

Thank you for hosting the course “AI for legal counsels.” The insights from Christoph Kwiatkowski and Yannick Bakker were eye-opening, we’re just scratching the surface. The rapid evolution of tools, frameworks, and capabilities raises the question: how do we keep up? My answer: Start learning. Start using. Know what part of your work entails the risks for its use. The firms that are already experimenting and iterating will lead the next chapter of legal services.

2. Precision drafting & refactoring – turn rough notes into polished clauses, emails or board slides.
3. Tone on tap – shift from plain-English summary to formal counsel opinion instantly.
4. Policy & compliance updates – map new regulation (AI Act, ESG, data) to action points in minutes.
5. Custom GPT assistants – build a mini-bot that mirrors your precedent library and style.

Testimonial AI for Legal (previous course)

I decided to take the AI for Legal Counsels course because, although I had previously followed other courses on AI and prompt engineering, I had not yet managed to apply these tools in my legal practice due to time constraints. Looking back, that now feels surprising, because I realize how much time AI actually saves me.

I was specifically looking for a practical course, and this one truly delivered. Thanks to the hands-on approach, I have now integrated AI into my daily workflow, particularly by automating repetitive tasks through customized assistants.

What I appreciated most was how the course helped me move from theory to real-world application. Although it felt a bit overwhelming at first, the impact has been significant. I can now offer clients services that I was not able to provide before.The course also inspired me to rethink the way I work. It encouraged me to explore how I can adapt my role to remain future-proof and ensure that my clients benefit from the added value that AI skills can bring to legal services.”

Testimonial AI for Legal (previous course)

Across several expertly led sessions my understanding of artificial intelligence grew exponentially. Christoph and Yannick’s teaching style was refreshingly open and illuminating—an absolute pleasure to experience. Day one placed AI in its wider context; the remaining modules drilled deep into legal-specific workflows—drafting prompts, assembling bespoke GPT models and stress-testing contract clauses. Even as a very senior counsel I was astonished by the precision with which AI can weigh pros and cons and suggest clause enhancements. The programme has reshaped the way I work and, by extension, the value I deliver to clients. Truly a step-change in my professional capabilities.
