The Nigerian legal community is set to engage in a crucial conversation on the future of law and technology as the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Business Law (NBA-SBL) announces its upcoming Pre-Conference Webinar focused on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in legal practice. Scheduled to hold virtually on May 15, 2026, the webinar is expected to bring together legal practitioners, industry experts, and stakeholders to examine how AI is reshaping legal service delivery across Nigeria and beyond.
According to the organisers, the webinar will explore the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence in key areas such as contract drafting, legal research, document review, and client advisory services. Discussions are also expected to address emerging concerns surrounding regulation, professional ethics, compliance standards, and the evolving responsibilities of lawyers in an increasingly technology-driven legal environment. The event comes amid rising global conversations on the integration of AI tools into professional services and the urgent need for regulatory frameworks to guide their use.
The virtual session is billed to begin at 3PM WAT (10AM EST) via Zoom and forms part of the NBA-SBL’s broader commitment to advancing innovation and thought leadership within the legal profession. Legal practitioners, business professionals, and technology enthusiasts interested in participating have been encouraged to register ahead of the event through the official registration link provided by the organisers: NBA-SBL Webinar Registration.
