Forget vague promises and inflated expectations. This is AI stripped of jargon, hosted by the University of Law and Kalisa - the secure Generative AI platform, as part of Leeds Digital Festival.
This punchy, practical and interactive session takes place on campus at the University of Law and will also be live-streamed for virtual attendees. It’s designed for small and mid-sized law firms that want to understand where AI actually delivers, whether that’s cutting costs, saving time, or creating new revenue streams.
You’ll hear from
Hear from Adam Roney and Patrick Grant on what’s working in real organisations right now:
- Which AI use cases are really paying off for SME law firms, backed by real-world examples and polling data.
- How to move quickly (and safely) with AI you control.
- Practical lessons from experts deploying secure GenAI inside regulated and non-technical businesses.
This is an interactive session, so expect to:
- Take part in live polls, contribute questions, and help shape the conversation.
- Join a long-form Q&A where your challenges take centre stage.
No jargon. No waffle. Just what you need to know.

Who is this event for?
- Partners and senior leaders at small and mid-sized law firms
- Non-technical decision-makers responsible for innovation or operations
- Professionals looking for practical, real-world AI use cases—not theory
- Anyone who wants honest answers on where AI delivers value (and where it doesn’t)
- Teams interested in secure, compliant AI tools they can control
- People tired of hype who want to get started with AI the right way
Why attend?
- You want clarity on where AI can actually impact your law firm
- You want to hear from people who are building real solutions—not pitching features
- You want to see what other SME law firms are doing, thinking, and questioning
- You want a chance to ask questions and get honest, practical answers
- You want to leave with ideas you can act on—immediately
- Networking and drinks
