The legal sector is changing rapidly. AI tools like ChatGPT are transforming how legal professionals work—with both opportunities and risks. That's why DPA and EIFFEL invest in their professionals by training them in the safe and effective use of this technology.

Diederik Gelauff sees it as a necessity: "The impact of AI is enormous. Legal professionals who embrace this technology gain a head start. It's not just about what ChatGPT can do, but especially how you use it strategically. This isn't a nice-to-have, but a pure necessity to remain relevant. That's why we invest in this training: to ensure our professionals stay ahead."

Training that goes beyond the basics

Team EIFFEL offers training that prepares legal professionals for effectively using ChatGPT in their work. The training, developed and delivered by Frank te Biesebeek and Martijn Doornbos of LegalMike, teaches participants how to save time while performing legal tasks accurately and confidently.

The legal professional won't be replaced by AI, but by a legal professional who knows how to use AI tools effectively.

No standard course

The training 'ChatGPT in Legal Practice' distinguishes itself through its focus on practice and customization. "There's no ChatGPT manual specifically for legal professionals," Frank explains. "We developed one. In the training, we let participants experience step by step how to optimally leverage ChatGPT."

Frank and Martijn have already trained over 1,500 legal professionals: from in-house counsel to attorneys and government lawyers. Thanks to practice-oriented assignments and smart theory, participants go home with concrete skills and fresh insights.

Smarter prompting

An important part of the training is writing effective prompts. Geoffrey van den Bergh, privacy lawyer at DPA, shares his experience: "Previously, I used ChatGPT as a kind of legal search engine. That often produced outdated or incorrect information." Frank explains why that's risky: "ChatGPT doesn't guarantee completeness and can give incorrect answers: so-called hallucinations. We teach legal professionals exactly how they can use AI safely."

Mara van Gelder, legal consultant at EIFFEL, adds: "I was surprised by how much difference a good prompt makes. It takes a bit more time to formulate it precisely, but the result is immediately usable and ultimately saves work."
