Legal AI: Real talk with Uwais Iqbal, founder of simplexico | Access Legal
Let’s be honest, AI in legal is a bit of a minefield. One minute you’re reading headlines saying AI will replace lawyers; the next, you’re seeing bold promises that it’ll solve everything overnight. It’s no wonder legal professionals are feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
That’s exactly why we hosted a live “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) with Uwais Iqbal, founder of simplexico, an AI consultancy working directly with law firms to implement AI in a practical, safe and effective way.
The AMA was a chance for legal professionals to ask real questions and get straight answers, with no jargon.
If you missed it, the full session is now available OnDemand, and we’ve pulled together some of the most insightful moments below. Plus, don’t miss our upcoming webinar with Frances Anderson, CEO of New Law Media.
What legal teams are asking about AI
The live Q&A covered a lot, but five big themes stood out:
- Efficiency: AI can speed up research, review and casework without cutting corners.
- Accuracy: Not all tools are created equal; knowing what to trust is key.
- Risk: Some tasks still need human oversight — AI isn’t a free pass.
- Confidentiality: Enterprise-grade tools matter when handling sensitive data.
- The Future: AI won’t replace lawyers, but it will reshape how legal work gets done.
