(Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shun Yamamoto; hereinafter “GVA TECH”) will hold the “Generative AI Practical Conference for Lawyers” on Monday, June 22, 2026, at the headquarters building of Dai-Ichi Hoki Co., Ltd. The event aims to create a setting where participants can realistically feel, “I could do this myself.” Event details: https://benpal-legal.com/events/ai-lawyer-conf-2026/ Background: In May 2026, use of the civil litigation system “mints” will become mandatory, bringing the legal profession to a stage where digitalization can no longer be avoided. The adoption of generative AI is also steadily progressing in the legal industry. At the same time, many lawyers say they have started using generative AI but are unsure whether they are using it correctly, or that they only use it for chat-based questions and wonder whether they are fully leveraging its capabilities. This conference was planned as a forum to share practical knowledge at a level of detail that can be reproduced from the next day, covering everything from the first steps in adopting generative AI, to in-house app development within law firms, choosing tools according to proficiency level, and the impact on law firm management. Four lawyers with different positions and phases of adoption will take the stage to thoroughly explain real, unfiltered AI utilization know-how from their respective perspectives. Event overview: The event will be held on Monday, June 22, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Participants may enter or leave during the event, and a networking reception will be held after the main program. The format will be hybrid, with both an on-site venue and online participation. The venue is the 9th floor of the Dai-Ichi Hoki headquarters building, 2-11-17 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, a 3-minute walk from Gaienmae Station and a 7-minute walk from Aoyama-itchome Station.
