On 18 November 2025, the Law Society of Hong Kong’s Practice Management Committee, hosted the seminar “Legal AI: Ethics, Opportunities & Risks” which brought together Hong Kong law firm leaders to explore how AI is transforming the way lawyers work, and also the ethical, operational, and professional considerations that come with it. Mr. Brian Tang, the Executive Director of Law, Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship Lab (LITE Lab@HKU), has been invited to speak at this eminent event.

The seminar featured the managing and senior partners of prominent Hong Kong and international law firms Gallant, EllaLAN and Dorsey & Whitney and discussed the emerging trends, practical challenges, and how law firms can responsibly integrate AI into their practices. It also provided the opportunity to experience the latest advancements in Legal AI technology through live demonstrations and free trial sessions by Microsoft, Thomson Reuters and Lawplus, showcasing how innovative AI tools are being applied in real-world legal settings.

Brian shared how AI is changing the technological and market landscape for skillsets and mindsets required of lawyers to thrive, and highlighted the duty of practice supervision and management that partners had over their human staff lawyers using AI and the growing number of AI agents.
