Alexander Irschenberger interviews Elgar Weijtmans

Across the Nordics, many firms still rely on an apprenticeship model built for work that AI can now complete in seconds. This raises a deeper talent challenge: what kind of lawyer should firms be developing today, and how will they recruit, train, and retain that lawyer as legal work is fundamentally reshaped?

The billable hour has long shaped how legal services are priced, but AI is beginning to change the way legal work is delivered. In this interview-style session, Nick West, Chief Strategy Officer and Partner at Mishcon de Reya, will discuss with Agnes Åberg (GTM at Laurel.ai) what that means in practice.

The conversation will look at how firms can price work when delivery involves both people and AI, how value should be understood beyond time spent, and what more practical pricing and operating models might emerge as AI becomes part of everyday legal service delivery.

This will be a relaxed and informal gathering, offering an opportunity to connect with peers across the legal tech community over food and drinks.
