Ireland for Law discussed issues for potential collaboration with the Lord Mayor of the City of London Corporation at an event held in the Law Society on 26 January.

At the event, Michael Mainelli spoke about the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) and the need for the challenges and opportunities of AI to be met and harnessed.

Ireland for Law also explained how it was working to promote Irish legal services internationally.
