Every session is designed and led by Ralph Grayden, a former commercial lawyer and senior copywriter who has worked with brands including Macquarie and ANZ. He was also featured in CPA Australia’s INTHEBLACK on human editing of AI-generated content. You’re trained by someone who uses these systems on live client work every day, not a facilitator reading someone else’s slides.

The gap

95% of lawyers say generative AI will soon be essential for drafting.

Less than a quarter say they’re using it effectively right now.

That gap is your risk. And your opportunity.

AI can streamline workflows, drafting and even research. But without the right processes, prompts and guardrails, it can cost you far more than it saves.

One hallucinated clause. One leaked client detail. One piece of unsubstantiated advice. And everything is undone.

Our AI writing training offers lawyers a better way.

We help your lawyers use AI as a drafting and research partner, not a replacement for professional judgement.

The goal is practical: protect the firm, amplify its expertise and build workflows your lawyers can actually use.

Stop waiting for AI to happen to you. Start leading with AI now.

What you’ll learn

AI writing training for lawyers

Live, private training for legal teams. Practical, tool agnostic and built around safe, repeatable workflows that help lawyers draft faster without compromising accuracy, confidentiality or professional judgement.

Idea ignition

✓ Get past the blank page quickly.

✓ Generate summaries, outlines and arguments faster.

✓ Apply the same approach across different practice areas and document types.

Voice guardrails

✓ Lock in tone, structure and legal style.

✓ Develop a customised, reusable prompt library.

✓ Help every draft sound more like your firm and less like generic AI.

Draft to polish

✓ Build smarter drafting cycles from prompt to finished document.

✓ Edit, verify and refine more efficiently.

✓ Integrate fact checking and verification into the workflow.

Governance and compliance

✓ Reduce hallucination risk with verification workflows.

✓ Protect sensitive client information through safer processes and settings.

✓ Build review and approval steps into AI-assisted drafting.

Human and AI roles

✓ Decide what can be assisted by AI and what should stay human.

✓ Protect Critical Content such as legal advice, strategy and high-risk communications.

✓ Define role-based review and approval pathways.

Your documents

✓ Train using examples based on your firm’s emails, briefs, advices, contracts and reports.

Put your firm in control

AI could now underpin up to 90% of your firm’s writing

If it’s not already part of the way your lawyers work, you could be falling behind.

The opportunity

Used properly, AI can take much of the legwork out of contracts, reports, client updates and other routine drafting, saving lawyers significant time while giving them more space for judgement, analysis and client work.

The risk

Used badly, AI can create more problems than it solves. Hallucinated facts, weak reasoning, confidential information in the wrong system and generic drafting can quickly wipe out the efficiency gains.

Our AI writing training puts your lawyers in control. You’ll learn how to:

✓ Streamline first drafts of contracts, client updates, reports and internal notes.

✓ Protect confidentiality by anonymising inputs and using appropriate settings and systems.

✓ Verify outputs so lawyers catch hallucinations, missing references and risky shortcuts.

✓ Lock in voice and quality so every draft sounds like your firm rather than generic AI.

✓ Set the human and AI split with clear rules for what AI can assist with and what must remain human-led.

This isn’t for people who want to play around with ChatGPT.

It’s for law firms that want speed, accuracy, consistency and professional control at scale.

Common questions about AI training for lawyers

Is it safe for lawyers to use AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT for legal drafting?

It can be, with the right systems and controls. Confidential or privileged information should only be used in accordance with your firm’s approved tools, policies and professional obligations, and lawyers should verify important facts, authorities and citations before relying on AI-assisted work.

Our training focuses on those practical guardrails: what can safely go into which tools, how to verify outputs, how to review AI-assisted drafting and where human judgement must remain in control.

Do lawyers actually need training to use AI well?

Usually, yes. Lawyers already bring many of the right skills: precision, scepticism, structured questioning and professional judgement. The problem is that many are using AI without a consistent system.

That can mean inconsistent prompting, weak verification, no clear approach to confidentiality and little control over tone or drafting quality. Training turns individual experimentation into a repeatable firm-wide capability.

What does AI training for lawyers cost?

Our 90-minute live session starts from $2,075 + GST. Half-day AI Writing Bootcamps are $4,250 + GST and full-day AI Accelerator workshops are $8,950 + GST for up to 15 participants.

Larger groups, conference sessions and broader firm-wide programs can be scoped separately.

What formats does the training run in?

We offer three core formats: a focused 90-minute session, a half-day interactive workshop and a full-day intensive that builds a more complete AI Writing Operating System for your firm.

Sessions can be delivered in person or remotely and tailored to the level of experience, practice areas and objectives of your team.

Do you provide private in-house, retreat and conference AI training?

Yes. Private in-house training is our standard model, but we also deliver sessions for partner retreats, firm offsites, conferences and professional education programs.

Sessions can range from a focused 90-minute presentation to a half-day or full-day workshop and can be delivered in Sydney, Melbourne, elsewhere in Australia or remotely. Ralph has presented on AI writing for organisations and events including the College of Law, Smokeball Spark 2026 and the Leo Cussen Centre for Law.

Which AI tools does the training cover?

The core principles are tool agnostic. Prompt design, verification, review discipline, workflow design and voice control apply across tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and legal-specific AI platforms.

We tailor the training to the tools your firm has approved and can also discuss the strengths, limitations and appropriate use cases of different platforms.

Can you help us develop a law firm AI policy?

Yes. Our full-day program can include a practical governance layer covering approved tools, confidentiality boundaries, verification requirements, human review, sign-off and appropriate use of AI across different types of legal work.

We can build this with your legal, risk and practice management stakeholders so the policy reflects how your lawyers actually work and is more likely to be used in practice.

Can AI training support lawyers’ CPD requirements?

Yes, depending on the applicable rules and the relevance of the session to a lawyer’s practice. Our workshops cover areas such as professional skills, legal drafting, technology, risk, verification and practice management.

We can provide a session outline and attendance record so participants can assess and record the training under their jurisdiction’s CPD requirements. Firms should confirm the appropriate CPD category and treatment under the rules that apply to their lawyers.

How do we stop AI-drafted work sounding generic?

By building voice and structural controls into the workflow. We show lawyers how to give AI clearer instructions about tone, structure, vocabulary and drafting conventions, then how to edit and review the output so it sounds like the firm rather than generic AI.

The objective is not to make AI imitate a lawyer perfectly. It is to give lawyers a better first draft while keeping the final judgement, voice and quality under human control.
