UK Legal AI Brief is a short weekly email on the AI developments that matter to legal practice in England and Wales. It arrives every Friday and takes about 5 minutes to read.
Each issue covers what regulators, courts and professional bodies have said, the tools and cases worth knowing about, and one practical exercise to try. The focus stays on the questions lawyers actually face: supervision, confidentiality, client impact and cost.
It is not legal advice, and it is not a full update service on AI regulation around the world. It picks out what is likely to affect your practice.
UK Legal AI Brief is written by Serhan Handani, a practising solicitor in England with experience in civil litigation and law firm partnership.
It is written as a peer, not as an expert: someone using these tools in real work, under the same professional obligations as its readers.
UK angle first. A story makes the cut when it has a clear or likely effect on practice in England and Wales.
Sceptical of vendor claims. Product announcements are treated as claims until there is evidence.
Sources linked. Each item links to its original source, so you can check it for yourself.
AI-assisted, human-edited. AI tools help gather sources and prepare summaries for the editor. The editor checks sources, writes the view and edits every issue before it is sent.
Have a story, a tool or a question? Reply to any issue and it comes straight to the editor.
Free, and the 7 Golden Rules guide arrives straight away.
