What You Need to Know

Big firms like Seyfarth Shaw have implemented training programs for summers focused on generative AI.
It comes as many, or perhaps most, firms are continuing to invest more resources and build new tools to leverage AI.
'This is the new reality of how lawyers are going to practice,' Seyfarth Shaw chair and managing partner Lorie Almon said.

More Am Law 100 law firms are training their summer associates in generative AI, seeing the potential in the technology for both legal education and business.

Among the latest is Seyfarth Shaw, which launched this year a 10-week program for summers with sessions geared around learning commercial and in-house AI tools, brainstorming new AI-enabled products and processes, and debating the limits, possibilities and ethics of AI usage.
