OVERVIEW

This four-day Advanced Legal Program equips lawyers and legal counsel to lead and shape strategy in the digital age—where technology-driven change is transforming legal work and raising the expectations placed on legal professionals as business partners. The program combines practical strategic frameworks, essential technology fluency and leadership tools to help participants guide clients, teams and institutions in a fast-moving environment.

Participants build a clear understanding of the technologies and regulatory trends redefining the legal field—including AI, automation, data governance and platform-based business models—and learn how to translate these developments into actionable strategic advice. They explore how these shifts intersect with core practice areas such as data protection, intellectual property and competition law, and how they create new risks, opportunities and choices that affect organisational decision-making.

A central focus is the leadership role of today's legal professionals: influencing direction, enabling change and safeguarding standards when uncertainty is high. Leading Legal Transformation program moves beyond technical legal analysis to examine how digital transformation impacts organisational strategy, talent development, ethical responsibilities and stakeholder expectations. Participants strengthen the judgement, communication and influence skills needed to advise senior leadership, align legal and business priorities, and lead teams through change.

The program culminates in a capstone workshop where participants apply what they have learned to a realistic scenario involving technology, regulation and organisational change. By the end, they will be better equipped to operate not only as legal experts, but as trusted strategic advisors and forward-looking leaders who can shape outcomes and uphold the integrity of legal practice in the digital age.
