On 5 November 2026, the specialized seminar entitled “Lawyers and Arbitration in the Age of AI” will officially take place in Ho Chi Minh City, jointly organized by the Vietnam Business Lawyers Club (VBLC) and the International Arbitration Centre under the International Financial Centre in Vietnam (VIFCA). The program will feature Dr. Lawyer Le Thi Dung, Founding Lawyer of Siglaw Law Firm, as a speaker presenting on the topic of artificial intelligence and the future of the legal profession.
The seminar is being held against the backdrop of artificial intelligence bringing about significant changes to the provision of legal services, dispute resolution and the practice of law. The rapid development of technology not only creates new ways of working but also raises urgent requirements regarding adaptability, professional responsibility and the ability to manage legal risks in an increasingly digitalized business environment.
Dr. Lawyer Le Thi Dung to Present on Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Legal Profession
One of the most anticipated sessions at the seminar will be the presentation by Dr. Lawyer Le Thi Dung, Founding Lawyer of Siglaw Law Firm LLC, on the topic “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Legal Profession: New Legal Challenges, Professional Responsibility, and the Transformation of Investment and International Trade Advisory Services”.
Drawing on her practical experience in legal consultancy and the practice of law, Dr. Lawyer Le Thi Dung will focus on analyzing the major transformations AI is bringing to the legal industry, while clarifying the legal issues and professional responsibilities arising from the application of technology.
Specifically, the presentation will address several key issues, including:
- Transformations in legal advisory services: How AI is changing the methods of legal research, investment consultancy, contract drafting, dispute resolution and corporate legal affairs; and which areas of professional expertise will continue to require the decisive role of lawyers;
- The legal framework governing AI in Vietnam and internationally: Developments in AI and data-related policies and legislation, and their implications for businesses, investors and cross-border legal advisory activities;
- Emerging legal issues in investment and international trade: Risks associated with investment in the AI sector, cross-border data transfers, technology contracts, automated transactions and the liability of relevant parties;
- Lawyers’ professional responsibilities when using AI: Requirements concerning the confidentiality of client information, verification of legal grounds, quality control of AI-generated outputs and responsibility for legal advisory work supported by technology;
- Opportunities and directions for the development of the legal profession: Emerging legal service areas, changing client expectations and strategies for building the adaptability and capabilities of legal service providers.
The presentation will go beyond identifying technological trends by incorporating practical scenarios to facilitate discussions on the limitations of AI and lawyers’ professional responsibilities. It will thereby highlight a fundamental issue: AI can assist in processing information, but it cannot entirely replace lawyers’ legal judgment, professional experience and responsibility for their work.
With timely content closely connected to the practical realities of legal practice, Dr. Lawyer Le Thi Dung’s presentation is expected to offer valuable in-depth perspectives, helping participants gain a clearer understanding of both the challenges and opportunities for the development of the legal profession in the age of AI.
Siglaw Is Honored to Sponsor and Support the Seminar
Siglaw Law Firm LLC will participate in the specialized seminar “Lawyers and Arbitration in the Age of AI” as a sponsoring partner, alongside EP Legal.
Siglaw’s sponsorship of the event demonstrates the firm’s commitment to professional networking, knowledge exchange and keeping abreast of developments in the legal industry. This also provides an opportunity for Siglaw to contribute to meaningful discussions on the impact of technology on the legal profession, particularly in the fields of investment consultancy, international trade and dispute resolution.
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the provision of legal services, Siglaw recognizes that access to and application of technology must go hand in hand with risk management, legal compliance and the maintenance of professional ethical standards. While technology can improve operational efficiency, the quality of legal advice must continue to be ensured through professional competence, independent judgment and the responsibility of legal practitioners.
Through its participation in the seminar, Siglaw aims to help promote a proactive approach to knowledge updating, encourage innovation and strengthen professional capabilities within Vietnam’s legal community, contributing to a more professional legal environment that is better equipped to adapt to the demands of the digital age.
Key Topics to Be Discussed at the Seminar
In addition to the presentation on artificial intelligence and the future of the legal profession by Dr. Lawyer Le Thi Dung, the seminar will address a range of practical issues relating to legal practice and arbitration in the context of technological development.
According to the proposed agenda, discussions will focus on the application of AI in legal practice, lawyers’ professional responsibilities, emerging challenges in legal consultancy and dispute resolution, as well as the need to adapt to changes in the legal and business environment.
In addition to the presentations, the program will include a Q&A session, providing a forum for lawyers, experts and participants to exchange views and share perspectives on practical issues arising from the application of AI in the legal and arbitration sectors.
With the participation of distinguished speakers and a range of topical discussions, the seminar is expected to serve as a valuable professional forum, contributing to a better understanding of the opportunities, challenges and development directions of the legal profession in a period when technology is rapidly transforming the delivery of legal services.
