Artificial intelligence (AI) could be a valuable tool for residential property lawyers, writes Peter Ambrose in this week’s NLJ

Ambrose, owner and managing director of The Partnership and Legalito, points out: ‘When it comes to driving technology innovation, residential conveyancing tends to take a bit of a back seat.’ He asserts that it’s time this changed.

One argument in favour of more tech in conveyancing, he writes, is that ‘risk management is among the biggest benefit offered by technology, and conveyancing is the discipline that carries the most risk today’.

Ambrose identifies aspects where tech could improve the process, and explains what difference it could make.
