Cooley (UK) LLP – The tech reg challenge: advising innovators when the rules are still being written

This interactive workshop will put you in the position of lawyers advising a fast-growing technology company launching a new AI-powered product across the world. Working through a realistic client scenario, attendees will identify legal and commercial risks, respond to regulator and board-level pressure, and consider how lawyers give practical advice when the law is still developing.

The session will introduce you to Cooley’s tech reg practice, the role lawyers play in areas such as AI, online safety and digital regulation, and the skills that make a strong commercial solicitor: judgment, curiosity, clarity, teamwork and calm under pressure.

Tristan Lockwood, whose practice focuses on complex digital regulation challenges for leading technology companies and whose career has spanned private practice and government, will also share reflections on his own career path and what makes this area of law exciting for future trainees.
