Freshfields offers ll.m in LLM for new lawyers – artificial lawyer

Global Freshfields legal firm will offer its new lawyers the opportunity to make a LL.M in the way ‘Tech and it will improve the provision of legal services’. In short, it is a ll.m in llm.

The course focused on legal innovation will be provided in partnership with the Dickson Poon Law School at King’s College London, and will be for a ‘selected group of future trainees’ (ie Junior Associates only outside the law school).

The firm said this is an example of its ‘commitment to invest in the next generation of talent and approximation with the evolutionary needs of its global customers’.

Ll.m in law and technology Offer will include:

• A country fully funded in the course starting in September 2025 onwards,
• A £ 20,000 maintenance grant during student studies,
• Opportunity to collaborate with Freshfields and The Freshfields Lab,
• And, continuing to connect with the firm during student studies Ll.M.

And then you can ask: What will come out of the fresh fields from this…? The answer is that they start developing a new generation of new lawyers who are really interested not only to use chatgpt to help them write their letters at university, but at the intersection of legal technology… .Which is now often based on the LLMS result …… and law business.

Freshfields’ management partner London and Dublin, Mark Sansom (photo above), who is a great supporter of the initiative, said: ‘As technology and innovation continue to form the legal industry, our firm is fulfilling that opportunity by investing in The trainee attempt at the beginning of their career. This opportunity allows them to develop valuable skills, turbocharge their professional and personal growth and approximate our strategic direction as a global firm. ‘

And Freshfields training director, Craig Montgomeryadded: ‘The best lawyers in the class we are hiring today will lead our firm during the 2030s and beyond. So this has to do with the super-loading of their skills to truly understand the technology that is and will be available to us and the legal opportunities and challenges it will present to our clients. ‘

Professor And hunterThe Dean of the Law School Dickson Poon, King’s College London, concluded: ‘Fantastic partnership with Freshfields in supporting the next generation of legal professionals. The trainees undertaken LL.M will become part of the global law community of one of the best schools in the world, and will benefit from the breadth and depth of our academic expertise in artificial intelligence and digital law. ‘

Is this a big job?

Well, it is not the first time that a legal firm has provided additional educational support to train future lawyers, but it has an important practical and cultural aspect. Practical in the sense that they know clearly to be a very good lawyer may not be enough as the business business changes due to the influence of it; and cultural in the sense that they are sending a message inside and outside the clients that the firm is taking this market evolution very seriously. So it wishes for that.

The measure does not come long after the Magic Circle firm announced that it was ‘joining the forces’ with Google Cloud to extract her Gemini LLM skills throughout the business as well as to use Google’s Vertex platform to create BESPOKE agents for its legal and business processes.
