The article explores the growing responsibilities of law firms in the age of AI, arguing that firms must adopt appropriate governance, policies and risk-management frameworks to support their lawyers in complying with ethical and professional duties in the use of AI. It also considers emerging challenges relating to supervision, billing, training and insurance in the effective and responsible adoption of AI in legal practice.

The rise of AI board members
For-profit boards are rapidly shifting from general exploration to making generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) an absolute strategic priority and the appetite for this integration only seems to intensify. The emergence of AI in the boardroom raises profound legal, ethical and governance questions. Can AI exercise fiduciary judgment? Who bears responsibility when AI-assisted decisions cause harm? And how should corporate law adapt when machines begin influencing or potentially making strategic decisions traditionally reserved for human directors? These questions are no longer theoretical; they are rapidly becoming central issues for modern corporate governance.

Paradox of two wrongs: examining the unmentioned implications of the Supreme Court decision in Providence v Hexagon
When does a cured default stop being a ‘wrong’ – and should it still count towards a contractor’s right to terminate for repeat late payment under the Joint Contract Tribunal (JCT)’s standard form contractual clauses? The JCT has a suite of contractual clauses used in construction projects that allocate design, time, payment and risk. The article argues that the recent Supreme Court decision of Providence Building Services Ltd v Hexagon Housing Association Ltd, that concerns the interpretation of clauses 8.9.3 and 8.9.4 jointly, has given rise to a paradox concerning repeated wrongs. This article seeks to analyse the recently published judgment, while simultaneously unpacking the paradox for an international audience.
