What is already one of the most recognised international events about law and technology is organised by Abreu Advogados Knowledge Institute with the support of the Católica Global School of Law and ANJAP – Association of Young Portuguese Lawyers.
Lisbon, Law & Tech presents this year a four day programme in a digital format in order to investigate themes such as digitalisation of justice, regulation of Artificial Intelligence, Legal Design and the use of technology in the provision of legal services.
In addition to Susskind and Walker, speakers include, among others, Meera Klemola, pioneer of Legal Design (Finland), Alexandre Zavaglia, CEO of Legal Score (Brazil), Eduardo Magrani, researcher at Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (Germany), Dora Kaufman, researcher in Artificial Intelligence (Brazil); and Manuel Levi, CEO of Enlightenment AI (United Kingdom).
For Luís Barreto Xavier, coordinator of the institute that is organising this event, “technology triggers a significant disruption in the practice of law, which is important to understand, discuss and analyse, evaluating its potential and its risks. In the second edition of Lisbon, Law & Tech, that will take place digitally for the first time, we wanted to contribute to this debate with a unique programme that brings together some of the themes that are at the forefront of law and technology and that are of interest to lawyers, judges, legal tech professionals and students. For this reason we’re very happy to have been able to organise this four day conference with some of the major names in areas such as legal tech, legal design and artificial intelligence.”
Portugal will be represented in the event by Maria dos Prazeres Beleza, vice-president of the supreme court, Carmo Sousa Machado, vice-president of the Portuguese Bar Association, Chairman of Abreu Advogados and Chairman of Multilaw; Ricardo Henriques, Abreu Advogados partner and specialist in IT and protection of personal data, Pedro Barosa, professional partner in penal litigation ; Helder Galvão, consultant and Luís Barreto Xavier.
