Overview
Your AI did in minutes what used to take hours. So what goes on the invoice, and what do you tell the client?
Generative AI is turning hours of drafting, research and review into minutes. That leaves every practitioner with the same unanswered questions: can you still bill by the hour, can you pass AI running costs on to clients, and what do you actually have to disclose?
This practical session works through the commercial and ethical questions of AI-assisted practice, from fair and reasonable costs and client disclosure to ownership, the move toward value billing, and the governance firms now need.
Why Join?
This is a current, practical session on one of the fastest-moving issues in legal practice. You will learn more about where and how AI is reshaping legal pricing, the emerging question of whether AI costs belong to the firm or the client, and how to keep your billing and disclosure defensible under the 'fair and reasonable' costs obligations and the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules.
