Ai for Lawyers
AI Practical Guide: The Future of Lawyers is a critical yet accessible reflection on how artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal profession-written by Mohamed Darwish, a UAE-based lawyer, certified mediator, and former hotel industry strategist whose rare blend of business development and legal acumen gives the book a distinctive voice.Before entering law, Darwish spent years in the hospitality industry, leading business development and digital transformation initiatives for renowned hotel brands across the Middle East and Europe. His background wasn't just in strategy; it was in results. He brought marketing and sales under one digital vision, designing systems that merged offline hotel operations with online visibility to create seamless, trackable revenue streams. For him, success was never just about guest satisfaction-it was about building recognized, scalable sources of income that were fast, efficient, and client-focused. This experience taught him that in high-pressure environments, clients don't just want good service-they want reliable, fast, and data-driven decisions.When Darwish transitioned into the legal field, he brought that same mindset with him. He didn't just see law as a set of traditions-he saw it as a client service business that urgently needed to evolve. Drawing on his business background and digital fluency, he began to apply AI-driven solutions to the legal space: from automated legal research and contract review to digital marketing strategies for lawyers. What emerged was a new vision of legal practice-one that combines the precision of law with the agility of technology.This book is not a technical manual. It's a human, strategic guide for lawyers, judges, students, and law firm leaders who recognize that artificial intelligence isn't just a trend-it's a turning point. Through thoughtful chapters on digital presence, legaltech tools, ethical AI use, and the future role of lawyers, Darwish invites the reader to rethink what legal service should look like in the 21st century.
