In a lively 30-hour marathon (including breaks!), we delved into various facets of this existential question with the cohort of the Master’s program in Business Contracts and Market Law (CADM) at the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Bordeaux.
We uncovered the intricacies of commercial justice as administered by the Nanterre Economic Activities Tribunal, navigated the halls of the Paris Court of Justice, and engaged in discussions with the incomparable Gérard Haas about the profound transformations AI is bringing to our profession.
Key questions emerged:
-
Does the traditional approach centered on responsibility give way to a focus on risk and its critical mapping?
-
Should we sell creativity, share experiences, and leverage intuition to identify weak signals, given that strict expertise will increasingly be provided by machines?
-
Can we enhance productivity and responsiveness to better serve our clients and internal teams by developing verification capabilities for AI-generated responses?
Regardless of the approach, the challenge remains consistent with our longstanding commitment at Spark Avocats:
-
Ensuring our junior associates are increasingly adept at questioning and refining specifications.
-
Promoting exponential growth in experience and shared insights through role-playing, and exchanging challenges and opportunities encountered in negotiations or restructurings.
For those focused on strategic value, AI presents an opportunity that young legal professionals should not fear but urgently embrace!
A big congratulations to our dear CADM students for their interest, curiosity, motivation, and maturity!
