Technology is transforming the way businesses operate. From Generative AI and automation tools to data analytics and digital platforms, organisations around the world are adopting emerging technologies to improve efficiency, drive innovation and enhance customer experiences. Alongside these opportunities, however, come new legal, regulatory and commercial challenges.

At Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, we advise some of the world’s leading organisations on the legal issues arising from the development, deployment and use of emerging technologies. Our lawyers work with clients across a wide range of sectors, helping them navigate complex questions relating to artificial intelligence, data protection, intellectual property, technology contracts, cybersecurity, digital regulation and technology-related disputes.

During this job simulation, you will support an Emerging Technology legal team as it advises a multinational organisation preparing to introduce Generative AI tools across its global operations. You will research emerging technology issues, identify legal and commercial risks, prepare client-facing documents and develop practical recommendations for business stakeholders.

This programme has been designed to give you insight into the work undertaken by lawyers advising clients in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. No prior knowledge of artificial intelligence or technology law is required. Instead, the simulation focuses on developing commercial awareness, legal analysis and communication skills that are valuable across a wide range of legal practice areas.

Reviews

4.6

I enjoyed the practical and realistic nature of the simulation. The tasks gave me an opportunity to understand how legal professionals assess risks, communicate complex issues clearly and provide practical recommendations to clients. I particularly appreciated the focus on Generative AI, as it is an increasingly important area for businesses and the legal profession.

It felt like I was getting proper education. The questions and model answers fascinated me, and helped me realize that I have still got work to do in terms of improvement. I am motivated to go over the course again for improved learning and better understanding, as it is pretty much a novel concept to me. I sincerely appreciate being given this opportunity. Many thanks. Sincerely, Adaobi

What I liked about the program is its focus on the dynamic intersection of law and technology, specifically regarding how legal professionals navigate the complexities of intellectual property, data privacy, and emerging regulatory frameworks. I found the deep dive into the strategic interpretation contracts.
