Thibault CHEVRIER participates in a round table discussion on legal ethics and artificial intelligence
On 20 November 2025, Maître Thibault CHEVRIER, Partner at CHEVRIER & FAVARI, took part in the Artificial Intelligence Day in Luxembourg Law conference. This event, organised by the Luxembourg Bar Association, the Young Bar Association and Larcier-Intersentia, focused on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the practice of law and the legal profession.
Hosted at the BGL BNP Paribas Auditorium in Kirchberg, the event brought together numerous solicitors, magistrates, academics and digital experts. The objective was clear: to analyse in concrete terms the growing role of Artificial Intelligence in the Luxembourg and European legal ecosystem, without succumbing to hype or unrealistic promises.
1. Artificial Intelligence, a strategic issue for lawyers in Luxembourg
Artificial Intelligence is gradually transforming the way lawyers practise their profession. Drafting aids, automated document analysis, augmented legal research and generative AI are now topics that law firms can no longer ignore.
During this conference in Luxembourg, several presentations placed AI in a realistic legal and professional context. Discussions focused on the current uses of these technologies in law firms, but also on their limitations. The speakers emphasised that artificial intelligence remains an assistance tool that does not replace legal analysis or the responsibility of the solicitor.
In a context where clients expect greater efficiency and responsiveness, solicitors in Luxembourg must understand the mechanisms of AI in order to assess its relevance and risks. This understanding is now a real competitive challenge for the profession.
2. The round table on ethics and training for solicitors
Thibault CHEVRIER spoke at a round table dedicated to the ethics of solicitors in relation to Artificial Intelligence. This session addressed issues that are essential for the future of the profession, in particular the training of solicitors in AI and the adaptation of existing ethical rules.
Alongside representatives of the Luxembourg Bar, foreign bars and magistrates, Thibault CHEVRIER, a member of the Luxembourg Bar’s Artificial Intelligence Commission, took part in a collective reflection on the responsibilities of lawyers when using Artificial Intelligence tools. The discussions highlighted the need to preserve the fundamental principles of the profession, such as professional secrecy, the independence of lawyers and the quality of legal advice.
The discussion also emphasised the importance of appropriate continuing professional development. For lawyers in Luxembourg, the challenge is not to become technical experts in AI, but to understand how it works in general, its possible biases and its legal implications.
3. An essential ethical framework for the use of AI in law
One of the central points of the round table discussion was the need for a clear ethical framework. Artificial Intelligence raises sensitive issues in terms of liability, reliability of results and data protection. For law firms, these issues are not theoretical but part of their daily practice.
The discussions showed that the integration of AI into the work of solicitors must be part of a cautious and supervised approach. The tool must never replace legal reasoning or human analysis. It must remain at the service of the solicitor and their client.
4. A commitment to modern and responsible legal practice
Participation in this conference illustrates the attention paid by law firms, particularly CHEVRIER & FAVARI, to the technological developments that are transforming the law. Artificial Intelligence is now an unavoidable topic for the profession, both in practical and ethical terms.
This day dedicated to AI provided an opportunity for in-depth reflection on the future of the legal profession in Luxembourg. It confirms that technological innovation must be accompanied by increased requirements in terms of legal rigour, ethics and professional responsibility.
