Wolters Kluwer Launches Legal Sector AI Initiative with Global Webinar Series

Wolters Kluwer launches a strategic AI program for the legal sector, featuring a 2026 report and a global webinar series on practical AI integration in legal workflows.

The Dutch information services provider Wolters Kluwer has initiated a comprehensive artificial intelligence program targeting the legal profession. This strategic move is highlighted by the release of its "Future Ready Lawyer" report for 2026 on March 10, accompanied by a global series of seven educational webinars designed to equip legal practitioners and corporate legal departments for an AI-driven future.

Strategic Focus on Practical Implementation

Central to the company's initiative is a focus on tangible applications within legal workflows. Key areas identified for AI integration include legal research, document automation, contract lifecycle management, and client communications. The webinar series aims to provide legal experts with actionable insights on deploying AI tools effectively, balancing gains in operational efficiency with the maintenance of competitive advantage.

This effort reinforces the corporation's broader strategic commitment to leading digital transformation within the professional services sector. As law firms and in-house legal teams increasingly adopt automation, Wolters Kluwer is positioning itself as an essential partner in this transition, offering both specialized expertise and educational resources to a profession undergoing significant change.

A Seven-Part Educational Program Through May

Kicking off on March 10, the digital event series begins with a session titled "Scaling AI Across Organizations," scheduled for 10:00 EST (15:00 CET). This inaugural webinar will be moderated by Grégoire Miot of the European Legal Technology Association (ELTA).

Subsequent sessions will address several critical themes:
* Building trust in an AI-powered world (March 17)
* The new architecture of legal work (March 31)
* Global AI adoption in corporate settings (April 7)
* Principles of responsible AI implementation (April 17)
* Training the next generation of lawyers (April 21)
* Establishing trust in the AI era (May 19)

The program, running through mid-May, is structured to offer a holistic view of both the technological and ethical dimensions of AI integration in legal practices.
